Castrol Edge 5W 40 seems to work best with my car, previously ran it on Mobil 1 and it would need topping up every 2 weeks. Since changing to Castrol Edge it only needs a couple of drops to keep it on the top mark of the dipstick every now and again.

Available in Costco for £27 for 4 litres!

Catch 22, the Castol may be cheeper in Asda, but would you want to park there and get trolly bashed by the epsilon minus trolls?

I love going there, my local one really is full of mutants / scum. It's like a science experiment gone wrong!

I go there when I've put on weight/feel ugly/got a hangover, makes me feel real handsome! (Roll in the gas canister first).
