I bet it's not cheap..

 

At one time it was believed Halfords oil was made by Comma and thus it was good stuff. Rumour has it that someone else supplies them these days and it's not as good as the former Comma stuff.

 

Personally, I'd stick to something with a well-known brand and provenence.

 

Is this stuff being pushed as Chav Bling by any chance?

 

"Its motorsport oil - innit" :)

Whilst we are on about oil does anyone know if 80/90 gear oil will do any damage in my box? It should have 75/80 but I don't know how much of a difference there is. (it's a 106 by the way)

if it's a different kind of oil, i.e. hypoid rather than gear oil it can. some 'boxs are more sensitive to different weights than others. best get the right stuff.
