Castrol Edge 5W30 Oil 1 Litre

[reesy]

Hi guys

I read on another forum about tescos incorrectly pricing the above, I thought Id give it a go at my local tesco. On the shelves it is marked up £16, on taking it to the tills £3.33 each !

So I picked up 4 more, bargin!

Happy shopping

Just to add, go to the self service electronic tills as the workers might notice the mistake and report the item as mislablled which will make it £16 again lol

And remember, some tescos have the little points on the wall where you can do a price-check before you even get to the tills!

is this offer still activet today then? does it work in all stores?

 

[reesy]

Bought them today they are marked up at £16 but scan through at £3.33 at the tills. As previously mentioned better off using self service tills though.

On the gti forum it's been tried nationally and seems to be across the board

great, going to pop down now... hope it works!

1 bottle left at my store (blackpool) and it scanned through at £16... apparently it's been going on for about a week and a bit so I think TESCO are getting wise to it.

Morrisons garages and stores have always sold it for under £12 iirc, although I was sold a litre of Quantum Platinum for £8.50 at my local dealer

quantum prem!

Went down to my local tesco and just bought 10 litres of Castrol Edge 5w-30 for the grand total of £33.30

Such a great price

None at my tesco near my work only 0w30

I buy genuine VW stuff - Quantum Longlife III I think for just under £5 for a 1 litre in Trade Parts Specialists (TPS) Can't imagine that castrol oil would be any better than genuine VW oil?

Yeah, at my last service I bought 5 ltrs of VW oil (Quantum longlife III) & genuine filter from TPS for under £30 notes. Then gave them to my local dealer to do the honours with, so I could get a SEAT stamp in the book. Prob would have been charged £50 for them if they had supplied them. And I now have some top up left for between services. Gonna service it myself with TPS genuine parts once out of warranty.

Do TPS sell to general public?

 

[nc30rider]

Unfortunately they don't. Do you know anyone who works in the motor trade? If so they do "Trade Cash Sales"

 

[DanGB]

My local TPS does have a counter for anyone.

 

[predo]

some forums have a trade account with them for paid members. For me using TPS membership is paying for itself after first shopping

The dealerships use Castrol Long Life in my MK2 FR TDi- is this much different?

As long as it is VW 507 00 spec, then make is irrelevant
