Been told a few things here on this one. It's either Total or Duckhams

 

When I bought my motorbike last year the guy who owned it worked for Vauxhall (R&D or sumthing). He was well clued up so I tend to believe him but he said the bogs danglies vauxhall oil was mobil 1.

He always ran the bike on the best at no-expense spared so if it's good engough for him.....

Be interested to have it proved.

I'm sure the manuals state what oil was originally used, do vauxhall change companies then??

what oil do you all use then??

 

Tesco Pure Vegetable Oil 3 Litre

Low in Saturates, High in Mono-unsaturates
An economical oil, ideal for deep and shallow frying and all culinary uses.
A good source of vitamin E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant and is recommended as part of a healthy balanced diet, which overall is low in fat, especially saturates.Additional Tesco statement:

DO NOT POUR HOT OIL BACK INTO THIS CONTAINER.

ALLOW TO COOL


Sounds pretty similar?

 

Damn. And I've been paying £12 for fully synthetic from VX when I could use some of that! Even got antioxidants!

Well Done TESCO. Knew you wouldn't let us down

 

It'd be interesting to know as i use both millers and vauxhall oil.

 

It used to be AC Delco back in the days of the GTE etc but not sure who makes it now will see what I can find out.

 

The oil is made by QUANTUM which you can buy in its original packaging from german and swedish as QUANTUM also supply Volvo Saab Volkswagen Audi Skoda and Rolls Royce and others.

But its cheapest through Vauxhall trade club semi synthetic which is the best oil to go for is £5.80 for five litres and if you buy four containers you get the fifth one free. BARGAIN!

 

I was told a couple of weeks ago by a vauxhall salesman that their fully synthetic oil was mobil 1.

 

PaulW; dont suppose you know if German and Swedish have a website at all do ya?

 

Sorry everyone, I was suffering from brain fade when I wrote my reply, the oil is called QUANTUM, Ive now edited my reply. SORRY!

 

German Swedish and French's website is http://www.gsfcarparts.com/parts.htm

 

Lee69 already IMed me the addy, but thanks anyway Paul.

 

oil

if anyone around my area wants cheap vx oil let me know...i can do a bloody good deal on it

 

likewise for the essex area, if you want cheap oil, or even new parts on a trade discount then gis a bell... although im not a fan of posting hundreds of bits when im not making any cash...

 

Hey JohnnyG is that your GTE on that site?

What colour is it, as I think mine is the same and I need some paint for it.

 

on the one in me sig? yeah, thast mine.

my colour is honda sonic blue, it costs around £50 a litre so isn't the cheapest around. if yours is a plain blue colour than it will only be around £10 a litre... (oh, that £50 is trade price...)

 

packaging on the semi is the same as esso stuff... and there is a big notice in my vaux dealers service area that says "REMEMBER VAUX FLEET COMMITMENT = ESSO SEMI OIL"

 

Ive been told it's Delphi.
