Free: Petrol/Diesel Motor Oil 15W-40 (Marston OX3) Gifted Part full bottle of Motor Oil. I would estimate between 1L and 0.5L left in the bottle. I would rather someone use this than throw it away, although it's not a particularly generous offer I realise! Would be handy for topping up.

See label in photo for full details I'm happy to deliver if within cycling distance from Old Marston or on my way somewhere.
