So you're advising others to wreck their engines?

Not in the least. I advise people to use full synthetic oils because of
their superior lubrication qualities.

But as usual have a one size fits all answer. If you did some serious
research, you'd discover that fully synthetic isn't suitable for all
engines or gearboxes - especially some older ones.

You don't want to use these, or have
your engine properly lubriacted, and have made this clear.

No - I want accurate information, not your usual guessing based on half
read advertising, which you then regurgitate as gospel.

This is your choice. So it is best for you to buy the cheapest oil from
the cheapest supermaket and put it in for 40,000 miles. Think of the few
quid you would have saved. Who cares if the engine sounds like a can of
nuts being rattled. Just think of that few bob you saved. This is the
best approach for you and you should do it now. I'm sure it will give
you great satisfaction.

Carry on making a fool of yourself.

I'm happy to accept the car makers know more about their products and how
to maintain them than you.
