Hello all. Please don't slate me for suggesting this - here goes.

Was just in Tesco and noticed their 5w-40 fully synthetic oil is half price - 2 ltrs for

MB

Did you choose Tesco's own baked beans, or Heinz?



ACEA and API are standards agencies / institutes.

The grading doesn't tell the whole story though, and I wouldn't use it personally on a masterpiece like the F20C. Not to say it's bad, I just wouldn't go for it myself.

Sometimes for example your cornflakes are made by Kelloggs but branded 'Tescos' etc doubt this is the case with oil though

Our resident oil warrior Si could answer this.

IF it was me no chance, i'd use good stuff oil is the life blood of the car.

Bit like when i goto macdonalds and have a big mac meal etc the sugar/shite enters my blood stream i feel all giddy and dont peform as well

Rumour has it they did then sold it to the bigger supermarket who rebranded it theirs; apparently this go's on alot with other brands too.

Though I've tasted tescos own brand not value and it tastes different

It's true, during the supermarket 'beans war' Sainsbury's Basics beans were made by Heinz I think, or at least that's what my old Uni lecturer told me.

Thought this suggestion was a long shot.....

Seriously just buy some good oil Castrol edge etc.

A wise man once told, 'those honda engine lad will run for almost ever if you put good fully synthetic oil in em' - true he drove a citroen it the engine blew up 3 weeks later
