The price is nice, but I had a big order from autodoc with free shipping. so ordering it from them is cheaper at this time, even if the oil is a bit more expensive.
btw, they (autodoc) are runing good discounts today on certain parts. bought 2 SKF rear bearing kits for 54€ each.

I used whatever Halfords sold that was own brand and in accordance to the owner's manual.

I think as long as you stick to the recommended grade, you cannot go far wrong.

i agree. with the second most important aspect being synthetic oil being a better choice for the axle than mineral.
