Great timing as my car is in for a service next week. This is the first time I've put the GS through a service. Assuming Autoshield don't have any objections to my supplying my own oil etc. is Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 the best option for these cars?

It is but in hotter climates the Selina 10w60 Racing hold better oil pressure when stinking hot.

Noticed that the 70% off also applies to all service parts.
So as well oil, was thinking of the pollen filter and spark plugs.
Regarding the spark plugs, NGK or Denso ?

Though the weather has been good to us in Norfolk the last couple of weeks, suspect I will be safe with the Shell. Thanks.

For the strad? What you going for? I need to treat the GTS to an oil change.

They sponsor Toyota and look at them at Le Mans...
What's the number for the pollen filter and plugs?

Well Spotted Martin, but I know several owners who after a year or so have poor running issues with the Denso Iridiums, which end up tracing back to them.

Eurocarparts have replied to an email I sent about the discount, Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 is only discounted 35%
The crazy70 promotion means up to 70%......
Just out of interest I had a poke round the interweb and managed 10L from carparts4less for £40.95 delivered, so almost half normal price!

Why do the dealers charge so much compared to the (real cost) I have just been charged 120 pounds for the oil (Helix 5W/40) used in my recent service.
Just because they can I suppose!
