Just chatting with a neighbour about engine oils (as you do) and

use. Has anyone seen this recently?


Never. I may have been lucky, but I've never had a car that really
required a top-up between oil changes. (First car a 1972 Escort.)


Never bothered. Used to have an old 850 Mini that did 500 miles to the
pint. Always carried a gallon of Duckhams 20/40W in the boot for on the
fly topups!

My GF had one that did 50 miles to the quart.../
