Quick oil change before the weather turns, cylinder head is coming off soon so decided to go for the cheapest option as it's not going to be in there long.
Comma LITE Synthetic 10w40, bought from my local discount hardware store. Cost a grand total of £8.00
Car instantly runs a lot smoother and sounds a lot quieter, noisy tappets (yes they came back) have vanished once again.
I'd say this stuff seems a lot better than the Castrol GTX High Mileage i used last time, and at half the price aswell.
For a budget motor oil, overall, i'm very impressed. |

Don't think i'll be buying anything else in the future.
If it comes with recommendation from everyone on here then thats good enough for me. |

I put everyone else onto it.
I used to use GTX until it just made everything rattle then used the comma gear, no issues since. |

I can't find anything called "Comma LITE" anywhere. All I can find is comma "EUROLITE"?
Is that the stuff you're on about? Cuz I think I'm gonna use it next time I change me oil |
