New owner of 996 c2 - trip to Halfords
Discussion
Hi All
Will do a separate post at some point with pics of my pride and joy and asking about the various minor bits and bobs that the pre purchase insepction identified and which garage (am London based) to get them fixed in and what price to expect to pay, but for now, a more urgent (time-wise query):
Quidco currently doing 25% cash back on in-store purchases at Halfords. I will be going there tomorrow to buy a sat nav and take advatnage of the cash back.
I also need some oil, so what oil should I buy?
Are there any other items that you can think of that I might need over say the next 12 months? If so, I will buy them tomorrow to take advantage of the cash back.
The PPI said that the side lights are not working, the front right full beam isn't working and the bonnet light (which light is this? the rear brake light on the spoiler or a light inside the bonnet?) - would Halfords be able to supply and fit new bulbs while I'm there?
Many thanks!

Is this the oil you buy?
The seller I bought it form was using Castrol (he gave me the bottle which had a tiny bit left in it). It seems from the Opie website that Mobil is cheaper than Castrol? I know there is not necessarily always a correlation between price and quality though.

So within this small thread so far, we have viscosities ranging from 0w-40 to 15w-50 and from about £7 a litre (the Fuchs Titan stuff) to twice that at £15 a litre for the Millers nano tech stuff.
Is there a prevailing view!? Having done some googling it seems that people on 911UK forum seem to like the Millers stuff 10w-50 or 10w-60 and apparently Hartech also recommend the Millers stuff
As an aside (apologies in advance for the lack of knowledge!) - when I get the new oil, do I need to remove the current oil first or can I simply to just pour the new oil in on top of the current oil?

I use Millers Nanotech as it is preported to reduce friction which can only be a good thing.
I personally would do a complete oil and filter change and you know where you are then.
I think that sounds like a good plan. What indi would you recommend I used? Am based in London. I personally would do a complete oil and filter change and you know where you are then.
