some say switching from fully to semi creates oil leaks, that might be true
but the way ilook at it oils oil if its gona piss oil out it will do it no matter what oils in it
thats just my view for what its worth,
some say use this and that £30 for oil f*ck that, asdas oil does the same job and its got the same specs as anyother oil on the shelf,
ive spied big blue drums of engine oil at costcos (Chevron brand) ithinks il be using that from now on
