Re: Petrol in oil
Wilko for the oil (at the moment) as I don't think ALDI or bLIDL are selling any at mo. The Wilko one is just under £14 I think.

Re: Petrol in oil
As luck would have it just had a leaflet for Lidl through the door, oil for 11.99 and looks like they have a cheeky little torque wrench for 15.99 - be getting me some of that!

Just looked again, starts on Monday. They have a 2 ton trolley jack for 19.99 as well. Could be handy as a supplement!

Re: Petrol in oil
excellent! I normally buy a couple of cans of the LIDL stuff as its a high-spec oil and two sees me through a whole year. Great value that one.

Re: Petrol in oil
That 'heady' mix will have acted as a really good 'flush'...I reckon everything will be spotless now.
Just drain it well & obviously change the filter as well.

Re: Petrol in oil
Will do, I will let it drain all day on Sunday I think to get as much out as possible.

Re: Petrol in oil
Interestingly, that contaminated oil will have done a whole lot of good in cleaning the insides of your engine, drain it well and don't bother with a flush, there will be so little of the old contaminated lube in there and remember that only had a small percentage of petrol in it.
Up to you but I would just thoroughly drain and refill (with new filter)
