Was in local Asda this evening and found they had Castrol GTX on sale, I got a couple of 4L cans of 10W/40 part-synthetic for £10 each. As well as 10W/40, think I saw 5W/30. Personally, wouldn't use the 10W/40 in my P6 but it's what I use in my daily driver which is due an oil change - so I'm well chuffed .
As an aside, bit annoying that a lot of oil only comes in 4L cans nowadays. I think Castrol always used to come in 4.5L cans (maybe 5L before that??). You end up buying a 2nd can just to get the extra pint of oil you need (or pay over the odds for small 1L bottle :cry: ). And the price of some fully synthetic oils is astounding! I wonder if the manufacturers just keep upping the price of engine oil in inverse proportion to car makers' increased service intervals? :evil: .
