Westway Oils - any opinions?

[g3org3y]

Seen these advertised on eBay when looking for BMW LL04 oil

They seem a legit British company: https://www.westwayoils.co.uk/

They do a 5W 30 oil that meets BMW LL04 specification.

Anyone know anything about them or used them before?

Viable alternative to the usual big brands?

TIA

As long as it meets the specs, Smith and Allan is another I’ve seen but not really used, not part of these are they?

No, different company afaik.

I used them for the gearbox oil for my Saab 9-5 auto.
Oil looked the same as new OE stuff and gearshift improved compared to the old oil that was in there.

Thanks.

Shame. No 5w40 spec. It does seem quite cheap though.... not sure if that’s good or bad.

Wasn't sure whether the big brands have other fancy 'additives' etc.

As Belle427 says, meets the spec so must be decent enough.

Thanks for feedback chaps.

It's tempting as notably cheaper than the standard brands.

At the mo, using Elf Sporti 9 (bought 3x 20L so working through that but the X5 needs 8.5L for every change!).
