Comma Oil 20w50

Post by Jop »

Needing some oil for my 2l ac and was looking at some Comma 20w50 stuff from my local motor factors. I've got the Halfords stuff before but this is £5 cheaper, anyone tried it or know if it's any good?

Is that the right grade for the air cooled engine? I always use SAE30 but open to discussion

REGULAR oil changes are what matter most. Here comes that oil thread again......

Depends which Comma 20W50 you are talking about. If it is Motorway 20W50 then no.
If they have got it Comma Europa 15W50 is best. Or Sonic 20W50.

Nope.... :wink: throw it away....

In my opinion you need to stick to well known brands like Morris, Mobil, Fuch....

As stated above 15.40...15.50....20.50. will suffice and use a Mann filter if you can get one. Im using a federal mogul filter (Champion) at mo.

I always change my oil at 2k, Might seem excessive but I love my engine :ok
Life is not a rehearsal...Live life to the max....Buy a Aircooled VW and get covered in Rust and Oil.......But we all love it really....!!

Motorway is Commas budget oil with very little additives for the local chavmobiles. It doesn't even have an API ratiing. Europa or Sonic from the comma Range
