Suitable Engine Oils

Yeah, bloody Corollas. Could handle a lot of abuse. So could the Golf II I bought for 850€. Gifted it to my sister in 2007. That was my last tin can. No need or want for a car since then.

No need for a bike either. But a lot of want for my 14. Probably my very last one. First motor vehicle I take (meticulous) care of.

Just noticed that the title of this thread is "Suitable Engine Oils". I got an ultra-secret-hot-tip for you (not for me).

A light to open the bonnet eh?
That's nothing, my Jag seems to have a light to open my bank account.

That's nothing, my Jag seems to have a light to open my bank account.

JLR seem to have direct access to my account, they don't even bother with a light anymore.

A Scotsman i used to work for drove an AU Ford wagon, and his wife a little hatchback thing (also Ford i think). He'd drain the old oil from her car and put it in his, topping off with a bit of new, and new oil in the wife's car. New filters in both.His logic was that she didn't do the miles whereas he did, so there was life left in the little hatchbacks oil.  Seemed to work for him, never heard of an engine issue in the 10 years I worked with him.

You mean your light has broke? how unusual, an electrical fault on a JLR product.
