As we can only buy in litres you'll need to get 9. In my 4200 she normally takes just over 8 to get her to just below top level on the dipstick. I keep the left over for the next change.

Bought 2 yesterday at £19.99 each, take the VAT off and its criminally cheap.

I had 1.5L left over from an oil change and that included dropping the sump so 8.5L for me but 2 x5L leaves a nice bit for topup.

I took advantage of opie oil offer too a few months ago.
It always appears to be very reasonably priced. I know it's factory fill stuff, but with it being so cheap compared to other synthetics at the same viscosity, is better more appropriate now more suitable, at higher cost of course?

Just ordered same - used the code so 10 litres on the way,
Next on the list is an F1 relay (or 2) and an auxillary belt I guess - what other common parts would you guys "keep to hand"

If you need an auxiliary belt, and still in the UK, you use the RAC/AA to get home and sorted then. Different if overseas.
You only need stuff that is an easy quick fix to get going again.
Spare fuses, F1 relay, jump leads/battery booster, IMHO.

Dont know why but Ferrari put a Aux belt in the tool kit.
when I put mine back together I replaced the one on the car and put a new one in the boot too.
I always carry my Sparco rally tool bag with just the right selection of tools for most eventualities.
Being a fabric tool bag they take very little space so worth getting one guys check them out on Demon Tweeks mine is over 20 years old and travelled all over Europe for Toyota hundreds of times.

My QP toolkit consists of a tow bar, two spanners a handbrake release tool and a double ended screwdriver - is that enough?

The Motor Transport mechanics buy the stuff by the 200+ litre oil drum and they take around a year or two to get through one of those! So oil in a sealed plastic container that it came in should be all right.
