Flat4 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Anyone seen any decent deals on good quality engine oil atm? Need 8 litres of 10w40 semi synth for the Granvia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilninggas Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I buy bike oil from smith and allen. ECP have good* deals. 10w40 seems to be cheap in most places due to moderns using 5w. Bamboocarman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesapandre Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 ASDA's cheapest branded synthetic oil. I put their app on my phone so I can locate their petrol stations when I am out and about and their sandwiches etc as you can always park and much cheaper than 'services'. No idea how competitive the oil is but it will probably be the cheapest of the supermarkets. Same oil is 25p more per litre at Halfrauds.

mitsisigma01 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I think Tesco had Magnetec up for £17 for 4 litres the other day .... or £18 for 2 litres .... lesapandre, Rusty_Rocket and forddeliveryboy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat4 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Is Asda down brand oil actually decent quality? See GSF have Mobile 1 for £24 for 5l but don't really need a full synth for the bus. Gulf oil any good? I think I used their performance one in the Leggy once but those seem to run better on Fuchs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCub Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 GSF: Bought 2x 5l of Comma 10/40 Semi-syth (Eurolite) today, with discount code GSF58 - it came out to £35.65, that's less than £17.40 each. (Did click-&-collect). lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisbon_road Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Cheapest prices normally if you buy 20 litres or so, if you can justify it. ECP, and ask nicely for a discount as it isn't something I can find on the web. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiperCub Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I saw that, wasn't sure if Comma was any good. Comma is very good stuff IMO, have used their products for years, have friends who've used it in track/race machinery too.

Tamworthbay Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Comma is good as long as you avoid their Motorway brand which is the leftover crap and doesnt conform to any specs whatsoever apart from the viscosity one. It comes in a blue container and I would only use it on a car that I was going to scrap or that was pissing oil out daily. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Total oil is as good as there is, having conducted highly* scientific tests. Rubia 15/40 used to be something like £210 for a barrel, delivered. Then overnight back in 2004/5, it doubled in price - I offered a cheaper oil, the sensible ones swallowed the price rise. Today I use Smith and Allan, they're pretty good on quality and price.

twosmoke300 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Quantum oil sold by Vag parts suppliers is a good oil (either castrol or fuchs depending on age of stock) Synta is their 10w40 semi oil.Available on ebay but not as cheap as I can get it direct Shirley Knott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
