i have always put castral edge 5/30 in my car its a LCR 2003 running stage 1 with 250bhp but as you know its not cheap having to get the 4ltr and then the 1ltr for a oil change so just wanted to ask, is there much difference between castral edge (is it worth the extra money), mobil1 and millers oil etc

As the car is out of warranty and modified, I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. Due to the cost of the extra litre of the Castrol, I would just go for one of the better ester based oils.

Cheers
