Be interested to know what people's thought/opinions are of ECP Triple xxx oil are? I appreciate that its not the best but surely if it meets the specs and its changed before schedule it must be more than acceptable in terms of wear protection? A lot of garages have drums of the stuff these days!

Pretty much my thoughts I have been servicing the works vans (PSA 2.0 hdi engines) on 5w/30 for years and must have one up to 250k miles now and not even a jug of oil used between services which I do every 6k. Mechanic chap I know was trying to put me off the stuff advocating me using long life stuff at stupid money. Best bit is £35 for a 20 litre can trade and I even use the waste oil by mixing it up with creosote to paint on the outbuildings!
