They have been in business for 100 years. They are a blender of lubricants rather than a manufacturer based in Darlington. Defender 90XS SW

Would the quality not be as good then?
I always bought Mobil but now seems very hard to find or if you do it’s very expensive

I don't know anything about Smith Allan, but the fact they are just a blender isn't necessarily a bad thing. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I use this Smith & Allen oil in the L322 and D4 and have never had an issue.
It's even cheaper if you buy it 20l at a time. Defender Td5 Commercial 2002

I've been using them for a while now as it's easy and cheap to order no complaints but I change my engine oil every 6k miles in my Td5 and other oils every year depending on use 110 Td5 Ex Utilities slowly converting into a pop top camper one day
