You need to check the actual spec to see how much of a bargain. Many of these places sell oil that doesn't meet modern ones. -- *Fax is stronger than fiction * Dave Plowman dave(a)davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

That name covers a big variety of specs, over the years. FWIW I've seen different spec Castrol Magnatec on sale in Halfords at the same price. ;-) -- *Pride is what we have.
