SLX Oil stockists?

The old girl has done 6000 miles with me now and may need a drop of oil soon. Not having much luck searching for some online and I doubt petrol stations and Halfrauds will have Castrol SLX/ Other than stealers, any ideas where's best to get some guys?

Also (and confusingly) I believe that I have to use Castrol Formula SLX on my extended service intervals setup and NOT the seemingly better sounding SLX II longlife oil?

Thanks a lot

Cannot help you to buy SLX in Wales, but I can promise you that SLX Longlife II will kill your engine at the first high speed / high temperature run!
Longlife II is NOT intended for RS4, you MUST use an oil that meets VW 503.01 !!!
Longlife II meets only 503.00 and has reduced HTHS (High Temperature High Share), which means sudden death for RS4.

I still dont need any but I found some anyway!!!

The chap at the motor factor in Canton Cardiff went white when he scanned it through the till - I assured him £14 for a litre of oil was a BARGAIN LOL :)

Dont think there are any other RS4's in Cardiff though :(
