I use Halfords Classic 20/50 - good value at £15.99 for 5 litres.

I'd suggest that you're better off with new oil.

That was an expression, not to be taken literally.

Appropriate price as well!

I suggest you change the oil and filter - yes 20W50 - and the Morrison/Wilko oil is perfectly good enough for a standard Minor.
