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.

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).rwilsonrs4 wrote:Castrol Edge 5w30 has been 35 notes in my local Asda for more than a year , so every now and again i buy a tub to make the pain a bit less (i was a mechanic for 20 years so never bought oil in my life lol) thats about as cheap as i seen it locally , no costco near me
