jonny69 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Not bad!My car's currently full of their £1.69/litre 20w50. It smells nice.Where was that from? Asda? I don't seem to be able to get 5 litres of 20W50 for £5 from the local spares shop any more. Prices seem to have leapt up to between £10 and £12 for the cheapest of chip fat oil.

retrogeezer Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Asda/Wilkinson/Morrisons etc all have a 5 litre cheap 20/50 for about £5 or £6.... or at least they did the last time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted some cheap oil to flush my mayo-y engine, none of my usual supermarkets had any.Also I was in Halfords the other day and noticed their Classic 20w50 was only £17 - I'm sure it used to be nearer £21.

trigger Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Christ oil really has gone up, I used to sell Comma 20/50 classic oil for £5 for 5lts. Even decent 15/40 was only about £10, Mind you this was about 7 years ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Costo!£31 for 20litres of 10/40... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimad5 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Now i know where i am buying oil from !!(Old man normally pays £40 odd quid for Castrol, when i do an Oil change on the Audi ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Costo!£31 for 20litres of 10/40...Or £41 for 20litres of 5W30 fully synthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I get decent quality fully synthetic for £12 / 5 litres from my local motor factors.Wouldn't use Asda oil to lubricate the garden gate.Renault / Vauxhall etc all tend to do bulk buy deals. 100l of 5/40 synth for £100 seems to be pretty standard.

Station Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Asda stuff is Duckhams.Thought it was cheap, I'm used to Halfords prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Wouldn't use Asda oil to lubricate the garden gate.I run all the older cars in the fleet on the cheap Asda 20W50 - never had any problems. I've also used their 10W40 semi-synth in various turbocharged Saabs - again, no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 We've always run the Mini on cheapo oil and the only problem has been that the gearbox is knackered. Hmmm. Though to be fair to the oil, I've been blamed for the gearbox issues due to my driving style... (surely you drive every small car like a 2CV and thrash them mercilessly?!)

The other one needs running in and I'm reluctant to spend £££ on oil I'm going to use for a few weeks and dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogeezer Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Station, this Asda stuff is not cheap. The label says it's £9 for 2 litres reduced from £20 but their 5 litre of the same oil is only £18 normally!! And here is the 20/50 in Wilko that is £5.99...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 ^ That's what I was after.If Wilkinsons were open at 9:30 on a Thursday night I'd have gone there instead of Asda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimad5 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Will be popping to Wilko's when Fiesta and Audi get an oil change.What do you lot normally do to "Flush" the old oil out ?Some strange folk just drians the old stuff, bungs in aload of cheap oil and starts it for literally 5 seconds and leaves it to drain. The re-fills with the "good " stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is someone looking for cheap (in price) synthetic oil?You understand dirt cheap mineral and synthetic are two different things? I'm no oil connoiseur, but some engines need the good stuff, whereas older ones do with the shite stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just saying that £9 for 2 litres is not such good value when you can get 5 litres for £18 which seems logical enough to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogeezer Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Whats up with people around here these days? Yes, Station, of course I know the difference between synthetic and mineral oil!!I'm pointing out that you have actually paid the equivalent of £22.50 for 5 litres of synthetic oil when you could have bought the 5 litre can for £18 (£7.20 for 2litres)!!!And I was also pointing out that the 2l can could not be better than half price at £9 because a 2l can would never cost £2 more than a 5 litre one in the 1st place!!!I also put the 20/50 one in Wilkos here because OTHER people were asking where they could buy cheap 20/50 oil.Next time I won't bother telling you have have been ripped off.

Milford Cubicle Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 That's a common supermarket trick, they put the "OMG OFFER!!!" tag on something that isn't good value at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
