Oil and car care questions, answered
How do I know which engine oil my car needs?
Your handbook lists a viscosity grade, for example 5W-30, and a specification or approval code, for example ACEA C3, VW 504 00 / 507 00 or Ford WSS-M2C913-D. Match both and you have the right oil. The same information is usually printed on the oil filler cap. The quickest way is our oil finder: enter your registration and we match the grade and approval for you.
What do the numbers in 5W-30 mean?
The first number followed by W (for winter) describes how easily the oil flows when cold. A lower number means easier cold starts and faster protection. The second number describes the oil's thickness at normal running temperature. Always use the grade your manufacturer specifies: modern engines with tight tolerances and particulate filters are designed around a specific grade.
Fully synthetic, semi synthetic or mineral?
Fully synthetic oils are built from engineered base oils that hold their viscosity at both cold start and high temperature, resist breakdown for longer and meet the low-SAPS specifications needed for diesel and petrol particulate filters. Semi synthetic oils blend synthetic and mineral base stocks and suit older engines with less demanding specifications. Mineral oils are for classic and very simple engines. Use the type your handbook calls for.
Are your oils genuine?
Yes. Everything we sell is the manufacturer's own product, bought through authorised UK trade distribution and supplied sealed in the original packaging. We do not decant, re-label or import grey-market stock.
Can I mix oil brands when topping up?
Oils that carry the same grade and specification are compatible and can be mixed for a top-up. For a full oil change we recommend sticking with one product so you know exactly what is in the engine. Never mix in an oil with a lower specification than your handbook requires.
Do you sell car fluids and workshop chemicals as well as oil?
Yes. We also stock antifreeze and coolant, brake fluid, screenwash, AdBlue, fuel and oil additives, radiator treatments, brake cleaner, degreasers, threadlockers, adhesives, gasket makers and workshop gloves from brands such as Holts, Wynn's, Redex, STP, Loctite and Prestone. Browse them all in Fluids & Chemicals.
