Tesco Supergrade engine oil, 10w/40 APLSL:ACEA A3 B3 Recommends itself for all petrol engines including turbocharged carburettor and fuel injected engines. With advanced additives.
Recommended oil for my vehicle Total Gold - Never use additives!
Price is attractive though. Do not have spec for Total Gold
All engine oils contain an additive package. They mean don't use extra additives yourself.

Thanks John, but can anyone translate the APLSL:ACEA A3 B3 for me please. ( I have searched for this unsuccessfully)
