Get the Vauxhall stuff, it's very good oil. You can't beat it for price if you can get Trade.

Magnatec is no better than budget brands tbh.
You can get the GM stuff for £10 per 5L in the trade.

Autovaux sell it at PV/Billing etc - I always get it in bulk for a bit cheaper - lasts me the year!:)

Vaux 10w 40, Comma 10w 40 are good quality.

Magnatec is rubbish IMO, used in my old Corsa Sport and it ran like crap on it.
Changed back to Vauxhall Semi Synthetic and it ran like a dream again.

I use TWS Motorsport in my Nova Sport as it has always been run on RS previously(Same stuff as TWS), seems to like it.
