Hello,
Which brand do people genrally go for these days, associated always used to be the best but has this changed in recent years?

associated or losi are still generally the favoured ones.
Core RC stuff isn't bad either
Personally I always go for the Losi multipack, it works out cheaper and it comes with a certificate of quality do you know you are getting what it says on the bottle, something that can't be said for all oils.
Just bear in mind that they differ from brand to brand so I always use this guide :

currently using Kyosho oil basically because what it says on the pot is what you get in the pot, losi oils are good but nowhere near linear in weight to the way they market them check out twf8.ws or pt-rc oils websites they have tested quite a few oils and losi are not accurate or even close to a linear increase through the range, that said once you know what works you are sorted
