Can anyone still get hold of this? Can't find anyone that does it any longer.

Is that the full mineral one? Wouldn't surprise me if theyve stopped doing it. No one has made a car that takes it for decades

Yeah, 150,000 1.8 mk2. Put triple qx 10w40 in last month and its dropped a litre already...Need to move up a weight I think. Didn't want to go 20W as it's still cold.

Was going to go with the 15w40 Castrol semi as my local has it in stock.
