Me too! I change the oil every year and if it has done >5k miles, I'd be amazed. Plenty of life left in it when I take it down to the recycling centre.

B&Q sell tubs of carlube 20/50 for a tenner. My old disco loved it!

You really need to change oil like this regularly.

Local motor factors might do Valvoline race 20/50 or millers motorsport 20/50, which is up there with Castrol. Its getting harder to get decent 20/50 locally, postage might end up the only solution.

free shipping apparently. Although i suspect its simply built into the price.

I get Comma Oil for my classic car, same spec as the big brands but cheaper. I don't know if it is available online, I just get it through my local motor factors.

Just out of interest, why is the Castrol site no help?

This link is for Castrol classic 20/50

http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectiongenericartic...

There's also a 'contact us' tab where you can order online or ask them for local stockists? Are you saying the site links/contact num doesn't work?
