Guys, whats your opinion on motor oil, there is so many types out there that it makes you wonder whats what, Im looking to do an oil change, in my ford service manual it stipulates every 2 years for its service, but i'm going to change just the oil every year, Now its a 5w-30w spec for my vehicle, so, when looking through the FULLY SYNTHETIC types. i'm seeing a £5 to £10 pound per 5lts differences when i compare the ford to say the GM recommended synthetic oils, Now they both state they are top graded 5w-30w oils [ as you would expect ] as its for the stop/start systems, so, why is there such a money difference when both are the top end range oils for high sophisticated motors that need the best thats out there..Is this just a case of our [ RECOMMENDED ] oil for our make of car only.. Im looking at the Triple QX range of oil for my ford, and its £25 for the ford one, and its £19 for the GM one...WHY...???...Where is the big differences coming form when they are both top end oils....I think is a con myself, but i'm not a mechanic...
