Which Oil Should I use ;)
It is time for an oil change and I decided to have a look for the current recommendations for oil and was delighted to find that the WIKI has been updated.

Grandmas old tights and keep your fingers crossed. Mann filters seem to be widely accepted. Its all GSF sells I think, if you have a local branch.

Re: Which Oil Should I use ;)
Well I have managed to find some Mineral oil at my local motorfactors, it's a brand I have not heard of before but I was using Morrisons own brand last year so I am not too worried. If anybody has heard of these and could give me either a thumbs up or thumbs down I would be grateful, The company is MPM International and the oil I purchased is Motor Oil 15W-40 Super High Performance Diesel It was the only Mineral oil I could find available locally off the shelf (Eurocarparts do not offer free delivery to the lake district!!).
Does anybosy know what thread size the valve type sump plug is, I may have to helicoil it this year!!!!

Good price as well...I'd buy 2 or 3 at this price.
