RFC84 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Just wondered if it would be ok to use. My car's been off road as the sump is cracked and its been drained. Im having a new sump fitted tomorrow and local shop has a good deal on castrol GTX.I know most people use synta silver but does anybody else use the castrol?? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 How much is castrol GTX?As my local TPS are about £12 for 5litres of synta silver so not worth doing anything else Link to post Share on other sites
