Has done over 100k miles, am planning to put a 5w40 synthetic in, was thinking of going with some carlube triple R from GSF as it's under £25 for 5 litres.
What would people recommend?

Re: Oil Recommendations for my C5 oil change
If memory serves, that's exactly what is recommends in the handbook, and even with delivery is slightly less than the stuff I was going to get. Thanks very much for that, I'll go order some nowDickieG wrote:I use Total from this supplier used them several times, excellent service.
