Kroon Oil - anyone have a view on it?

The Halfords near me only stock Magnatec in 1L bottles. I ended buying 5L of Kroon Oil instead. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of it? It seems they're a Dutch company.

I had to do an oil change after accidentally spraying some coolant into my oil cap (don't ask). Am I fine to leave it in or better to do another change with Magnatec? I think I'm just being anal but want some reassurance!

You get what you pay for...

This appears to be bargain basements-ish
Personally I never stint on engine oil ever ever ever....even when times were hard it was always quality stuff which may explain why a Volvo 240 got to over 360k miles with me....the engine lived on when I scrapped the car.

OK you do see brands you have never seen before & to be honest I haven't seen this one.
I saw plenty when living in New Zealand, but when you examine the market you see the bargain basement stuff & the quality stuff costs more.

I'd get it swapped out when you can - don't leave it in 14k or 15k miles....this may cost you but it's far less costly than a new engine.
