API SN/CF

Further research throws up a probable match with this Tetrosyl product...

At the moment most of the motor factors can beat that price for the same spec oil but they might not give you that price unless you ask for the cheaper alternative. At the moment Comma are doing two oil ranges with the same names and specs but the cheaper range is halve to a third of the price of the dearer, The explanation I was given is that with the cheaper line that is the maximum spec but minimum with the dearer range.

Shell Helix Ultra is pretty cheap at ECP right now:

20 quid for 5 litres, and perhaps 10% more if you have a working discount code.

That's a very good oil.
