I'd far rather buy from him then if he has personal experience and a lot of it. Online sellers are fine but you can't really get the same experience can you.

Ah yes formula one oil, my now late neighbour used to use that stuff and then use the cans (plastic) with a hole cut in the side to then pick the oil up when it dripped out the sump, lol Image

Hi everyone

About to buy some 20W50 oil from Halfords (needs to be from them because I have a voucher and currently cannot think of anything else I require)
Their website lists three:-
HALFORDS CLASSIC OIL
MILLERS CLASSIC PISTONEEZE
and Millers Classic Mini Oil

I have not previously used PISTONEEZE but will probably opt for this because a few on this thread have given favourable reports.
However, has anyone used HALFORDS own brand, any comments about the product, any idea who the manufacturer is?

Ian

And since I posted the above
COMMA CLASSIC MOTOR OIL
has been added to HALFORDS list of 20W50, although at present it does not show as an 'online exclusive' and I am informed:-
