Where can i get oil cheap?

[m.r.davies]

Hi

My car is going in for a service soon so rather than pay them £30 to stick in shite oil i wanted to get something like Fully Synth Castrol Edge,

Problem is motor world wants £45 for a 5 litre can.
Any ideas where I can source some with a better price?

Cheers
Mark

They are very good

i get my mobil 1 from Cost-co @ £23 for 4 ltrs

will 4 litres be enough to fill the car in a service?

I emailed opieOils and they said the best are.....

------
Ester based oil such as the Silkolene Pro S or the Motul 300v. I would look at a 5w-40 grade changed every 10k.

Any comments on this?

Sounds about right to me. Same grade as I and others here use and the interval to change is spot on too.

what oil do you use then?

RobM doesn't buy oil. He just glares at his sump and it fills up... what a guy!

I use Castrol Edge at the moment

You'll need around 4 and a half litres bud

It's always worth having a bit more than you need too, just so you can use the same stuff for top ups between oil changes.

Might go for castrol edge from the local place then
They dont have 5w-40 grade in stock, what else is acceptable to use or should i go to another local store and try and get 5W-40 ?
