The guy came back with Tutela Jarama 10w40 oil and said that it was exactly the same oil as the Selenia stuff, made by the same people (silversomething??) but just renamed. He didn't have any 1l top up bottles so offered me 5l for a tenner. I told him that I'd think about it. Should I have bitten his hand off or was he full doggy doodoo? Up yours Photobucket.
