On the subject of oil, which crops up on here all the time, I have my own thoughts. Ask anyone outside of Alfa circles and it is very unusual to find someone who has heard of Selenia oil, ask virtually anyone, car fanatic or not, what do Castrol make and they will tell you.

So, its only natural to query, why on earth are Alfa telling me to use an expensive,hard to get product, from a company that no one has ever heard of, instead of an oil recommended by a world renowned company, with a history as long as the motor car itself, being sold in every town and city in the country for less money.

It makes no sense to me,I've used Castrol for over 12 years now, before that I used Silkolene (now Fuchs).
