Are mintex brake discs any good. I got the rear discs for my  subaru xv for £15 delivered. Part MDC2568

 

Also should i uae 0w30 or 5w30 in my 2012 xv 2.0 diesel

 

 

Had mintex pads and discs years ago never had an issue - your VX might be a little heavier though but ultimately it is down to how you drive.

 

I would go heavier on the oil myself but check OPIE oils for another opinion

Certainly wouldn't refuse MIntex at that price, owned by the same people who make Textar pads etc if i recall.

IIRC they came like some others with the non swept parts unpainted where some other makers paint the non friction surfaces, when that's the case i apply a coat of black hammerite or similar so you don't see the rust on those parts through the alloy wheels, just personal preference whether you do and which colour you choose.
