Title: Oil Change

Assuming that oil from TPS is fine to use.

Had a quote of £16 plus vat for 5 litres. Will grab a filter too.

I use 5W30 Platinum Plus in the winter and 5w40 platinum in the summer from TPS (Quantum)........I change it every three months religiously due to previous oil pick up issues.
