Default Hallfrauds Synthetic Oil?

Been into Halfrauds, and seen they do their own 'synthetic' oil. So, just out of interest (my car appears not to use any oil, even though I did run it in in a 'special' way...) does anyone know if it's any good or not?

Oilman?

Halfords 5W40 synthetic which they often do good deals on is (as has been said) Comma Syner-G synthetic oil in a Halfords can. It meets all the latest standards so should be a good buy if changes regularly....

It's made by Esso, to a budget and basic spec. It's not a synthetic, it's a hydrocracked petroleum oil and that's what you're paying for.

Is it comparable to Silkolene or Motul? Well sort of Premiership vs 3rd division!

Your car, your money and your decision.
