Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2006Classic motor oil Halfords ?
Looking in Halfrauds today ( son after something !!! ) and saw a can of Hal... own brand Classic Motor Oil has anybody experience of it and is it any good ? I know early Series people have pet sources but this one struck me as odd seeing as they seem to selling more and more toys and unrelated junk.

It's a good quality oil, I use either it or Castrol Classic 20W50 in my own engines (Pre-serpentine V8 and Stag 3.0 V8). If anything, it holds it's viscosity better at higher temps than the Castrol stuff, which has a tendency to thin out at really high temps. Don't confuse it with Duckhams, just because it's green - duckhams is a high detergent oil, halfrauds classic isn't. Personally, I find duckhams froths excessively in V8's, causing issues with the hydraulic lifters so I neither use or reccomend it. Badger.

And I've seen plenty of it welded (well, sort of) to chassis. And they've had an MOT, don't know how. Martin > And I've seen plenty of it welded (well, sort of) to chassis.
