I went for Shell Helix Ultra 5/40 FS £21<<5L> and decided to put it in all my cars now,cost P/Liter top up costs can get expensive,so just have a spare 5L for top ups for all,

I went through all this before my last service a month ago or so. Looked at boutique oils such as Amsoil and redline, sound great on paper but in the end I just went with tried and tested Castrol Edge FST Titanium 5w40.

Ultimately it's all you'll need for the road and more unless your doing time attack or crazy track driving.

Thanks,

Im tempted with trying some others. ECP have some dirt cheap deals

magnatec at 20.99 (4l)
shell helix 24.99 (5l)
petronas at (PD?) 20.99 and normal 17.99 (4l)

all have 25% extra to come off too...

what does the PD do extra, worth it or avoid it??

Is Magnatec a synthetic ? I'd stick with what didn't make your engine blow up. FWIW I use Petronas but PD sounds like one designed for VAG diesels (Pumpe-Düse)

JoeperkinS

Yea fully synth apparently

thats what I readon elsewhere but read someone else ran a PD in their S2?

Also ECP are cheeper in store or use a discount code

Blox didn't read that

Honda HFS 5W40 or equivalent Total Classic 5w40. My investigation found these oil specs to be identical.

Total quartz energy 9000 5w40 good also and cheap.
