Hi, just bought some of this oil as it's specified for the Noble & fully synthetic, but had to buy a bit too much to get a deal. Anyone want 1 can of 5 litres for £27.50? I believe it's quite a bit more than that normally!

 

I'll have it assuming it's the 5W-40 stuff...

PS it's only 4 litres to a can isn't it?

 

Hi M8, definitely 5w-40 & it better be 5 litres as that's what I paid for! I'll be in touch with you via PM, e-mail or phone when it arrives (prob Thursday).
Steve

 

Re-read the thread title - D'Oh for the viscosity spec

I'll wait to hear from you as it'll do either for the next oil change / service or as top-up depending on how much the new girls sups...

 

Cheers Apple, I owe you the £2.50 change M8, don't let me forget!
Just discovered I have almost 3 litres (In a 4.5L can) of Castrol Magnatec 5w30 which is the specified oil for the WRX & STi and will therefore be what you have if standard oil changes have been carried out at dealers. Not compatible with VRS/M12/1.4LX(!) so will probably car boot sale it unless anyone from WYIOC wants it cheap!

1.4 LX....??

 

Don't laugh, it's scoring tons of brownie points.............might get to keep the Nobbly thing at this rate

another F**d then!

The Castrol is what Monty's dumped when they put the Helix in so not much use to me now - I might even have some kicking around as well if you want to make it more of a going concern

After I left WLT I seem to have collected a shed-load of change and am now almost trying to change it back into notes to save weight...

 

Yep, a *uc*

Similar tale here, went to Tesco, changed a tenner & got all iron change, but by then you were long gone so clanked around for a bit.
Any piccies from Sunday (Esp my former & new parked in line?)?

Cheers
Steve

 

Will see what I can dig out in the picccies - do you want them doctored and posted or emailed through? (you'll have to PM me your email addy for this though)

 

like this one...



The only one I got of them both and your old one was moving so is slightly less sharp...

 

photobucket down for maintenance - normal service resumed at some point...

 

and back up again

 

Is that Well Lane?

Could that be Phil's VII in the distance?

What's the squre of 64?

Som many questions...

 

Yup, it's Well Lane and it is Phil's in the distance, Sherlock

Dunno about the squre of 64 but the square root is 8 and 64 squared is a big number...

 

4096 mate.. Not that big

64 ot the power of 64? Now that's BIG.. 3.94020062 × 10 to the power of 115

 

Ah, but how much is 64 TO the power of 64?

 

Git..

 

 

 

It's big enough when you can only count to 21 on you fingers and toes etc...

 

Now the 'kin Noble's gone , I rediscovered my other 5 litre container of this, used once to top up (about 1/4 litre) so 4.75 litres left.
I'm not going to use it as I'll top the scoob up with the same Magnatec sludge the dealers use.
Demon tweeks sell this Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 @ £30.98 plus postage for the smaller 4 litre can.
Anyone want it for £20 before I ebay it?
Steve

 

Sold to Madgrip - Cheers Phil M8.
