    Express Autoparts, they are up behind B&Q.

    I buy pretty much everything from there nowadays.

    Have you tried lookind online to get some. The likes of opei oils probably stock it, and they will post anywhere. I had a bit of trouble getting some 10/60 a while ago so just used a 10/40 instead. Either that or order some from a local supplier, usually get next day from them.

    Thanks. Seems like there is no any 5W20. I can use 5W30 anyway. Last year I got 5W20 from DMS. I didn't realize its so hard to find one... Buying online its too expensive... From opie oils 5W20 RedLine with postage its over 60 quid for 5l.

    If you're looking for a good synthetic check out Royal Purple, its the pure dogs b*llocks! Approx. Ă‚ÂŁ13 a quart though, not so cheap. Can only get it from a few places in the UK though :(

    5w20 is very new & scarce, but will start increasing in demand soon. Ford are developing it for use across their new cars, so that will stimulate demand soon enough. We haven't got it yet, but I'm already onto trying to sort some as soon as I can. As for the 10w60, we stock Castrol Edge in that grade. It's not cheap, but Castrol isn't these days. Primarily for Beemer M-series and Alfa Twinspark motors from memory, but also probably useful if you're thrashing the nuts off a car on a track day. Next closest would be Mobil 1 Motorsport, which is a 15w50. Both should hold their viscosity well.
