and as well as that steve, the asda's oil owing to its low price, is unlikely to contain the fancy detergent stuff for modern high performance engines, which means its rather good for our old engines.

ah not really ryan, consider your engine to be around 500cc (which it isnt but its a good guess) and it puts out 3hp or so, now imagine that engine as a 2.0 litre, 4 cylinder engine, thats 12hp, compared to the 120hp that about the minimum expected of a 2.0litre car engine now, and it gives you some idea of what conditions our oil puts up with compared to a car engine, that also incidentally runs 5-10times faster too.

i got to admit i probely will go for the morris SAE30
i used SAE30 in many engines and its always been proven to be good, may try the supermarket oil, in a spare engine i have, thanks for all the advice though
Re: wolseley oil
Sounds like your mind is made up, but FWIW I always use Morris SAE30, yeah it's not cheap, but it comes in metal tins - looks the part!!!

Re: wolseley oil
Probably exactly the same, just I'm foolish enough to pay extra for the tin!!!
