I was actually after some mineral as my bike's low mileage, but couldn't see any...but that's probably because I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking for!
I actually got my last 10w40 stuff from Tesco and looking back I really should have paid more attention to the bottle.
Thanks in advance for any info you knowledgeable lot can provide.
Their ordinary 'Enhanced Mineral Oil' for petrol engines is in an orange bottle - got some at the weekend. 
Yeah you will damage the engine with that as diesel oil has special additives to clean the engine.Adski wrote:I've picked up some 10w40 part-synth from Halfords but it does state for Diesel engines - am I right in thinking that's just a general recommendation rather than an actual difference in the oil itself?
