I wonder why Halfords would do such a strange thing :o

Me too - spent a while checking the containers, Car - Semi and Fully, bike Semi and Fully... when a post went up a few moths back about the £10 / 4lt offer...
The containers have had a makeover - they used to be dark red colour - now silver - maybe something got left off or changes about that time!
Halfords oil is made by Comma - but there spec sheets seemed to differ with the JASMO - but not the ACEA / API...
