Don't go by maker name or anything else. Check the spec on the container
and make sure it meets/exceeds the requirement for your engine.

Even something like Mobil 1 means not a lot as there have been various
versions over the years - and you'll often find 'special offers' which are
in fact an obsolete spec. Same with all the other brand names. In
Halfords, you'll sometimes find the same brand - like say Magnatec - with
the same viscosity but different spec on the same shelf at the same price.
