Oil

Post by kasbridge » Tue Nov 20, 2012 10:28 pm

Hi All,
Done a quick search and a bit confused.

Taking my own oil to the Stealer (car under warranty still) to save money.

They advise Castrol SLX is what they would use which does not seem to be available any more - has it been replaced?

Any ideas on compatible oils, pricing, suppliers etc?

Many thanks,
Kevin

Cost £77 all in for 12l of Castrol Edge 5w/30 from Costco ... That's a total bargain. If you can join then do so, you get the cost back in the oil price alone. Set of Axle stands for £15 were another bargain!

Never found Opie to be very good on price. Sometimes Asda do a good deal.

Not sure.... I just assumed that was the price after the 20% discount. £72 would have been even better!

If you take up one of the offers above from Eurospares you can get it delivered, works out about mid £20 before delivery (I don't know how much delivery is though).
