Not missing the AX - Contact:
I used to use Total Quartz 9000 also but now use an unbranded oil to the same spec at half the price.
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right

In the 405 I'm still working my way through a massive pile of Asda Diesel 15w-40 that I picked up for 50ppl out of their bargain bin. Supplied by Halfords, so decent stuff, changed every 3,000. In the Clio it's Fuchs/Silkolene 5w-40 Pro S, £42 for 5L

1) Total Quartz 9000 5W-40 for the C5 (much cheaper off eBay for last 3 years but I bet the supply will dry up eventually)
2) Any 15W-40 for the van (but changed more frequently)
Wilkinsons did a "synthetic fortified" 15W-40 diesel up until recently, which could be bought in 1L for peanuts. I did use that for a few months in the C15 but they've stopped doing it.

04 C5 2.0 Auto HDi VTR
Usually the cheapest semi-synthetic 10W40 i can get hold of
Often Motaquip, but used Comma this time.
I change it every 6 months, and I don't do very many miles in that time. So methinks I get away with it.
Although I wish I could afford to bung some Mobil-1 in there, curse this student life.
