Used this or similar for ages.

I've seen 5lrs for Fortyfive quid, although you need to spend over eighty to qualify for free delivery,
They are also showing a five pound voucher ?
Me be worth a look, I have used them for my Valvolean 20/50 racing oil they seem to be quite helpful
and you can still contact then on the dinosaur horn blower,
Hope this gives you some help,
Chris .
I'm glad you've had a satisfactory result .
I've just ordered two 5 ltr cans of the VR 1 20/50 and four bottles of Castrol Valve master plus with free delivery
and tenner off ,
All good for another couple of years I hope,
Chris .

Hi all
Just looking at different oils to use in a LS3 6.2
I have been using Mobile 1  5-30 ESP Emission protection.
Im due to change my oil again in april, but due to the middel east conflic the price of some oils have jumped up in price big time. 5 ltr of moblie 1 5-30 is now up at £55 to £70 for 5 ltrs if you can find it, even Halfords dont have it now, well at least my local store or online.
The best price I found to date £52 from Amazon and free delivery.
What are you all using in your LS3 engine ?? and what sort of cost now for 6 ltrs.
