There is a Baxter Auto Parts right at one end of my street, and a NAPA at the
other end!
I note that the Baxter's still stock my previous favorite Valvoline Synpower
20W50 in API 'SL', whereas the larger stores in town only have 'SM' now, so I
might just relieve them of some of that shortly.
I am still investigating all the various oil companies products to determine
what the appropriate choices are for our cars, but certainly VV851 and VV855
figure high up on the listings at the moment.
I am aware that the US oils may not be appropriate in the UK and Europe, and
although I cannot say what is best in those markets, perhaps my findings will
help people with what to look out for?
Best Regards
