Wish they sold it in 6ltr not 5ltr though. 5.5 for an oil change!

Not discontinued at all, only the 1 Ltr is no longer available and it's called Synta 10W-40 not Silver but still comes in a Silver bottle.

 

Part number is ZGB115QLB00406 and is £12.16+vat rrp or £8.79+vat via TPS (sometimes even cheaper when they are running 10% off oils)

 

As for 6 Ltr bottles the 1Ltr was handy for that but most engines don't use more than 5, only the VR that I know of - I find the Castrol 4 Ltr ones annoying though!

does my fookin head in too. such a scam as the 1 ltr bottle is normally a bit under half the price the 4 ltr bottle.

Id just buy an extra 4 or 5 litre bottle, which is ever the case. Then just top a spare litre bottle up :D

I've used Castrol Magnatec 15W40 synthetic for years and I've never had a problem with it. I wouldn't get too hung up on brands frankly. As long as it looks like decent stuff. It's all oil...
