Just a quick question.. I've got these 2 engine oils http://imgur.com/a/1etKg The one on the left is ~1 year old, and the one on the right i got last week. Will i be okay to mix these 2? Looking a bit online and I think they have just rebranded their Edge 10w60 with "supercar" and updated the packag...

Same thing happened to one of mine, after trying for a while i drilled it out and replaced it. Now i have 3 other spare locks, i could only buy them in a set.

Sorry about the image size!

Spotted on the M4 eastbound Friday 19th Aug. what do you guys think about the colour?
