Where can you get Shell oils from? I used to use the full-synth Rotella-T diesel oil in my Husaberg (in Canada) - it was dirt cheap and the motor was in great shape after tons of short commuting and track use.

Edit - I've googled but it doesn't seem Rotella is available here?

I believe Halfrauds are either Comma or tetrosyl.

Aparently Castrol don't fill for anyone else.

Unless they are buying and filling their own (knowing them doubt it)

New Oil that meets the manufacturers recommendation for your vehicle.

Sometimes I think I take a to simplistic approach to this, but I've run my last few vehicles on halford own brand and changed it frequently when it wa due a changed.

I've never had a problem yet...
