csm180 said:Hi toe side , I agree with all the above. With regards to long life, as I have my Z serviced every year regardless of miles done ( Maximum to date is 8,500 miles) this is never a worry, combined with the fact that the engine burns oil and I refill at least a litre every 3 months so it gets fresh oil regularly. This is a feature of the E85 not a problem with my car thank goodness. However I did have to research this fact as this is the first car I have ever owned that had this design feature!!!Tesco have just launched a new range of oils and I think they include our spec. ( oil snobs look away ).

Cheapest I found was £34.99 from eurocarparts.
