    Mobil1 is one of the best you can buy. The GM stuff meets GM-LL-A-025 standard, whereas Mobil1 exceeds it.

    I'm happy with Halfords, and there are good discounts with a trade card. Just note that thier application book is wrong on the air filter for the 2.2DTI

    I use Mobil 1 TurboDiesel in my current Vec and have used Mobil 1 in the last few cars I've had and never suffered loss of compression, worn cams etc that most high mileage cars seem to get. This I can only put down to religiously changing the oil and using Mobil 1.
