I just rang their Potters Bar branch to order some and unfortunately they don't send it by mail order any more for safety reasons (containers have broken apparently).

So I don't know how else to get some now as my nearest Motor World branch is a bit useless and can't get any in.

So will I be alright using that Halfords classic stuff instead?

Halfords green is ok... if you use 20/50

[taffy1967]

Yes Duckhams Q Classic is 20W/50.

I think I heard somewhere that it was the same stuff?

[Jammy]

I heard that too.

Otherwise, check Opie Oils.

[taffy1967]

I've heard Halfords Classic Oil is Comma Oil repackaged.

I do hope it's their Classic Comma Oil and not the cheap stuff you see at supermarkets?

[taffy1967]

I heard that too.

Otherwise, check Opie Oils.

Checked but they don't do Duckhams oil.

Wilco direct has it though: -

you sometimes should be surprised of the quality of those oils...

if you look at the numbers on them and look them up...

I finally ordered some Duckhams Classic from here: -

Free delivery and I got it within 3 working days (ordered it on Saturday, arrived following Tuesday i.e. today) so very pleased.

API: SF/CD, ACEA: A2/B2

So are those numbers good news or what?

I've always used halfords classic 20/50 oil - Nothing wrong with it

And yes halfords oil is made by comma

[taffy1967]

I stuck with Duckhams Q Classic because I already have half a can left for topping up from last time.

I would like a can of the Halfords stuff, because I like the picture of the Mini on the front.
