Thanks!  :happy2:

I wanted to take it to Awesome and I've just spoken to them and they say they will just use the standard Quantum oil. Should I be supplying the oil I want them to use?

Quantum may be made by Castrol, but it aint the same.  And if anyone is recommending Quantum in modified cars, I would be asking some serious questions, because there are considerably better oils!
