National http://www.national.co.uk/ do a oil and filter change, for a T4, for £28 including filter.

My Phase 2 T4 uses a cartridge rather than a spin on filter, which IIRC are more expensive but still included in the quote from National.

Thanks to all your replies, as she,s SORN, and as RUFE says 10w40, is recommended, i,ll go for that. It is a tad confusing all these grades etc, once again youve all been a big help.

At that price I bet their stocks didn't last long...

I'm not a huge fan of Carlube products so, I would use it for 5/6 hundred miles, drain it while it's still fairly fresh and then put in some Magnatec.

Thanks Baffler, my thoughts were the same. As its got really black oil in, i,m going to change it for now while i work on her. Then when she goes on the road in a month or so i,ll put some good stuff in.

did similar with mine
lobbed some halfrauds 10w40 in with a new filter, 500miles later new filter and magnatec 10w40. and looking at the 500mile old filter it wasnt a bad move, mine had been neglegted on the oil/filter changes.. (and a lot of other bits)

LOL, sounds like this one. Just found the rear brakes feel shot, all horrible and lumpy with grinding noise.
