Cheap oil turns out to be very expensive later.

Cheap oil often isn’t correct.

The cheapest oil you’ll buy, is the correct one.

It is basically what I’d describe then as ‘green barrel’ oil. Has it been approved by any of the official quality standard setters or do they just claim that it meets those standards? Oil blending plants really should meet very high cleanliness and traceability standards to ensure that their product is consistently of the highest quality and that they do not make mistakes on the recipes or branding of batches.

Buy oil of at least a reputable known brand. There are some excellent blenders out there but there are even more ‘cowboys’. By your description of it, this looks like a cowboy outfit. However, their web site is quite impressive, so what do I know.

Oil is cheap
Just try not putting any in.
Buy top brands no problems then.
My late father said you have built an engine to the best of your ability so don’t cut corners now !
