If you go on ebay you can get fully synthetic oil 5/40 for about £32 for 10 l

Shell helix 10w40.
Shell is probably the only one worth the extra expense. Over the top when changing as often as I do though.
Personally I now get my oil off Eurocarparts when they have one of their 70% offers on. Delivered to the door in convenient containers and cheaper than getting a barrel off Smith and Allan.

Shell Helix is often the cheapest over here, otherwise it's Total. Castrol is only a brand name these days, don't often see it over here.

I only decided to change it as Tesco were selling off oil cheap. was in 2L bottles but per L was great value as was only going to drop it back out after a small run.
I flushed it then put decent oil in which really cleaned it out.

You’ll never drop it all out from the cooler etc but couple of flushes + filter it will clean out. mine was absolutely filthy, like liquid dinosaurs, in good condition now although the flush mixture is still in the system a little as it is continuing to get cleaner.

She will be betterer now no doubt. Itl go black pretty quick but will have better properties
Mine does, every time. It is all the particulates from burning diesel. A thousand miles in and it is pitch black but pinch a droplet from the dipstick between your fingers and you can feel the oil doing its thing.
