[Dan1971]

The plugs are £35 worth by the way - and the oil's about £50 !

[Dan1971]

Bump.......

[Dan1971]

Or ... come and get the lot for £50.

Daytona - you'd use this at some point surely .... ;)

[Dan1971]

Come on guys ... seriously. You chaps are supposed to be all about looking after your own cars ! This is top grade oil, a filter and 6 top quality spark plugs that you will not be able to get for this money - ever !

Even if you're not gonna do it now, surely it's worth getting to keep in the shed for when you need it. :spank:

[MG ZS STE]

ok, £20 and you cover the postage?

[Dan1971]

ok, £20 and you cover the postage?

Errm ... not quite... ;)

[ZSZRANDRF900]

[Dan1971]

£50 all in if you collect it - can't do it for that and postage aswell I'm afraid.

[Dan1971]

£55 for the lot posted ..... Come on !

[Dan1971]

Offers for the oil and filter anyone ? It's just sitting in a box in the shed ....

[daytona365]

How much for the filter? Only use Magnatec 10/40in my Zed.

[Dan1971]

Gonna keep it as a package Gordon - I'd be guided by others - but the oil spec I've got I reckon is better than 40/10

[Dan1971]

How do I read the numbers around the 'W'? For example 5W40?

As oils heat up, they generally get thinner. Single grade oils get too thin when hot for most modern engines which is where multigrade oil comes in. The idea is simple - use science and physics to prevent the base oil from getting too thin when it gets hot. The number before the 'W' is the 'cold' viscosity rating of the oil, and the number after the 'W' is the 'hot' viscosity rating. So a 5W40 oil is one that behaves like a 5-rated single grade oil when cold, but doesn't thin any more than a 40-rated single grade oil when hot. The lower the 'winter' number (hence the 'W'), the easier the engine will turn over when starting in cold climates. There's more detail on this later in the page under both viscosity, and SAE ratings.
A quick guide to the different grades of oil.
Fully Synthetic Characteristics
0W-30
0W-40
5W-40 Fuel economy savings
Enhances engine performance and power
Ensures engine is protected from wear and deposit build-up
Ensures good cold starting and quick circulation in freezing temperatures
Gets to moving parts of the engine quickly
Semi-synthetic Characteristics
5W-30
10W-40
15W-40 Better protection
Good protection within the first 10 minutes after starting out
Roughly three times better at reducing engine wear
Increased oil change intervals - don't need to change it quite so often
Mineral Characteristics
10W-40
15W-40 Basic protection for a variety of engines
Oil needs to be changed more often

Always gone with 5W40 in all my cars, best all round oil for summer and winter.

Unless your running big power anything else is just a waste.

[Dan1971]

Bump ..... still just sitting in the shed.

[hansligg]

Spark plugs still there and are they new?

[Dan1971]

Nope - just the oil and filter.

[Dan1971]

Still got the oil and filter.

£30 collected.

[MG ZS STE]

Dont suppose you've got a spare sump plug washer you could throw in with it have you?

Can you do anything about the postage. I've sent quiet heavy items in parcel locker though parcels 2 go very reasonably.

[Dan1971]

Haven't got a washer mate - sorry - but still have the oil and filter. Give me a tenner to cover the postage, and I'll refund you the difference if it's cheaper ....

[MG ZS STE]

Give me a tenner to cover the postage, and I'll refund you the difference if it's cheaper ....

What’s you PayPal address and I’ll send over the monies.

[Dan1971]

Sorry mate - I gave it away to a lad at work who changed some taps for me. Just got the filter left.

[daytona365]

How much for just the filter??? No postage needed lol

[Dan1971]

Just come and get it mate ... Sure I'll need some plates or something off you sooner or later. I'll just check tomorrow that I didn't chuck it out with the box and let you know.

[Dan1971]

I've left it by the back gate in the alley mate. If the Fezza's not on the front I'll be at work so help yourself.

[daytona365]

Been at work most of day and other things kept me away from laptop and therefore, forum......Will try and pop round on sunday, as Im off to the Halfway meet at lunch time.......Im sure as you now a Blue Oval Owner, I can help you out...

[Dan1971]
