      well according to advice above, my car won't like the change as tolerances will be compromised by long term use of 10w60 gloop

        Your tolerences will love the '5w' part of it because its thinner on start up. Not much difference at working temp.

          just to update an old thread, looks like Halford have stopped doing the 5w-50 which is a shame, I've used it for ages now and seems a decent compromise for cold start fast flow and working temp control on fast road and track driving. Anyone using an alternative version as I cannot locate the Comma one now CAF don't stock them any longer....
