Opinion needed pls. Which oil for V8? Choices supplied

Goldmember · May 3rd, 2019, 18:53

It’s service time for the V8. After research I have brought the choice down to 3 oils and not sure which is best/the 1 to go for. . I want the best for VBob and will be using a genuine filter and new plugs.
All 0W-30 and need 7litres..

Liqui Moli - £54.90 (7l)
Shell Helix - £69.60 (8l)
Castrol Edge - £87.99 (8l)

Never used Liqui Moli and not sure how good. Always a fan of Shell Helix and used it for previous Volvos. Castrol Edge .. damn expensive!

The above prices seem to be the cheapest I can find .
What’s your thoughts people?

Cheers,
Steve

Personally, I use Shell Helix in my T6

Especially, as it's often available and regularly discounted at Euro Car Parts on-line (with free delivery) which makes it much better value than their own brand (which is also quite good) at normal prices.
