Thanks for the reply, any specific reason for using emarat??

Easy to get?
Good service?
Good location?
Good value for money?
any other reason?

Also would really help me if you let me know what car you have..

Castrol, Mobil and all claim they have this-or-that special additives. I don't bother with what I can't see. So I go to Emarat for the convenient location.

And it doesn't matter if you mix oil grades or brands. OF course, you should never mix coolant types, but oil is okay.

depends on your car and what sort of engine performance you expect from it........

if you have an evo for example (judging from the avatar) - you need to be careful as to what sort of oil you top up with.

i used to use castrol. then shifted to bp on the new engine.

@Bleakus
Its not a good practice to keep switching on the engine oil. If you use a particular one, then just stick to it.
