Anyone used this? Any good? Bit cheaper than Millers which seems to be the oil of choice.

i believe in spending good money on oil to get the best i would spend the extra £5 and use valvoline now thats what i use but i did use the halfords oil before in my 850 but found in my 1293motor it thinned out too much so my oil pressure dropped to 25at some points so i changed to valvoline and it doesnt drop below 45now lol but i suppose that could be down to other reasons too

+1 for the Halfraud's stuff.

It's not that I'm a fan of Halfords but it's easy to fin, reasonably priced and it seems to be the most used.
