carlube is good enough,
it will be better than any old oil you take out.
all oil is rated to a certain standard nowadays.
i cannot fault the halfords oil though.
but generally more you pay better it is. make sure its a 20/50 minis like it.
also make sure you get a quaility oil filter

Be careful, not all oil is to any standard at all. For example Comma motorway has no defined spec and they won't make any claims for performance (I know, I asked) I bulk buy the comma one in the yellow tub but can't remember the name for the life of me. Look for the spec on the bottle e.g API ratings or euro equivalents.
