Good find, it's £40 on their website (cheeky b@stards) although an old voucher code EXTRA10 still works if you were desperate.
I just bought this:
http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/en/engine- ... 4D79B.html
Works out slightly cheaper per litre and you only need to buy two as they're 5 litres, comes form Belgium or France though so postage isn't the quickest.
Ps, AUTO5 gets another 5% off

Stupid question, but does engine oil have a finite shelf life?
Going to try Fuchs Titan in the RS, so would keep this for the Golf, which has just had an oil change last week and therefore not due another change for a while. If I bought this stuff, would it be OK to sit in my garage for a year for example?
I'm wondering if this is cheap as its old stock (old label pictured in the ebay listing)?

Looking online most sites are saying a shelf life of 5 years.

Yeah i cannot see a yr being any issue but say 4/5yrs on a shelf then dont think it will be like new and will probably start to degrade if you know what i mean...
