Any one here had experience with vortec oil?

I’ve seen a few online landrover service kits seem to be supplying them

Cheers

So long at it meets the ACEA code you need then it should be fine,
Ignore brand name, ACEA code and viscocity is all that matters.
Mannol from ebay seems decent.

Is there much in the way of counterfeit oil on eBay? Ie the cheapest brown stuff labelled up as something it's not?

I have eight engines on Mannol, none have blown up yet!
Cheap enough to change every 5k.
