Some of the London garages do this.
It more than doubles the cost of a basic service though. It's been claimed it reduces the engine noise.

synthetic is man made semi has around 50% oil in it and chemicals just go to your motor factors and buy some cheap diesel oil it does the same thing |

No it doesn't, it's reclaimed oil which can cause major problems to your engine, pay a little bit extra and you'll notice the difference. I use Shell semi synthetic Diesel Oil in my motor the one recommended by the manufacturer. |

I used to be an oil(ly) salesman. I would suggest that you check the age of the engine and what specification was originally needed for the oil. If the original spec was for a "CC 20w-50", then stick with it or only move slightly away from the original spec, eg "CD 15w-40", which would be the next later spec. Full Synthetic oil is vastly superior to the old mineral oils or even to a semi...but it should be used only when appropriate and not put into engines that were not designed for it. Hope this helps. |

easy to check what it should have ATS changed my oil and filter for £39, then i saw they had put castrol EDGE in when MAGNATEC is the correct oil for a Tdci engine so went straight back and told em they could either change it, or pay for a new engine if it blew up they changed it enter your reg http://www.castrol.com/castrol/iframe.d ...
