Flat4 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 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 That's good to know coz it was one of the brands I was looking at. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5w-30-Fully-Synthetic-Engine-Oil-MB-229-3-229-5-Ford-M2C913C-20-Litre-20L/301505456751?hash=item4633202a6f:g:looAAOSwZVlXmJ7c Anyone comment on this oil? £45 for 20L of 5w30 Fully Synth. The preferred drink of my Saab and C5 so would make for some cost effective servicing. Preferred drink as in brand or as in grade? Pretty sure Millers and Fuchs esther synthetics are about the same price and my fellow Subaru owners won't use anything else in their cars. The GTB likes Fuchs the best and Opie usually have good deals periodically. As it happens I went for the Gulf oil for the bus as the seller was eligible for the 10% off discount code which is running atm. 10l for under £25! I should maybe have stocked up for next year too but will see how it likes it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley Knott Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 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 Agreed. With Quantum Platinum 5W40 synthetic coming in at £12.50 for 5l it's a pretty tall order to beat. I'm currently psyching myself up to try it in the 940 in May when a change is due rather than the 10W40 Semi that Volvo forum lickers seem to recommend.

Shirley Knott Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Technicaly TPS only sell to folks in the trade, many of them can and will sell to the public though. Best to check with your local branch beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Hunt Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Tesco PFS, 2.0L Tesco own 10w40 part syn @ £5 specialOffer I thought was alright, works out at £12.50 a five litre 1.09 Gallon. Just the job for the MGZR, that likes a litre every 1000 miles As often the 4 litre size was horrendous price Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince70 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 ECP are doing 5 litres of QX 5/40 fully synthetic for £14.99 delivered at the moment if you order through eBay.I can never work out why it’s cheaper on eBay than it is on there own website with a discount code. Prices do fluctuate on a weekly basis though and it sometimes goes up to near £20. I’ve been using the stuff in my cars for years and never had any troubles plus I did hear a rumour it’s rebranded shell helix plus it’s BMW LL01 so ideal for my old E36 and the R50 is getting some in the near future. Also the local Tesco are doing 2 litres of Castrol 10/40 for £6 at the moment and I didn’t realise one bottle was enough for an oil change on a 3 pot daihatsui.

Crispian_J_Hotson Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Castrol are doing 8 liters of synthetic for £76 or something, not so much of a deal until you find it comes with a free* air freshener, so I discovered. *Don't know what the air freshener smells like yet tho.

Split_Pin Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Opie oils have always undercut everywhere imo. 4 litres of Castrol 10/40 something or other and a Mahle filter for £20 and 6 litres of Fuchs Titan 5/40 and a filter for £35.

Wack Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I needed some 5w20 to top the mustang up , using one of the dfs type never ending ecp sale codes 4l of petronas oil was under £20 I was a bit shocked to see 1l of castrol edge for £21.99 in the local BP , that must be the oh shit price when you dip the oil on the forecourt and it's not even on the stick I've only ever had to buy petrol station priced oil once 25 years ago , engine started making really horrible noises on a contract hired van that was only weeks off the end of the contract I opened the bonnet and oil was pissing out of a big crack in the block , fuck I thought I'm taking no chances on who's liable for that so before the breakdown came out I nipped over the road to the garage I'd handily broken down opposite and poured 2l In it Breakdown came out , first thing he did was dip the oil, well it's still got oil in it Really that's surprising with that big crack in the block clayts450 and Stevebrookman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley Knott Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 *Top quality 'Fanfaro' 10W40 on at £27 for 20l (4X5l) today on Ebay when using the PICK20OFF code... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x5L-FANFARO-TSX-10W-40-ACEA-A3-B4-Semi-Synthetic-Engine-Oil-API-SL/202951055708?hash=item2f40d3595c%3Ag%3AeqoAAOSwE89e0MUz&_trkparms=%26rpp_cid%3D5ecfcc068fb7dc17387f61ac That works out at a staggering £6.75 per 5 litres. If I had anything that still used 10W40 I'd be all over this like a rash, alas I don't. For those that do, have at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan_dyane Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I’m currently using the Fanfaro Dexos 2 and also their T-IV atf. Seems fine and it’s the sister company of Mannol however I do wonder if rather than being a product of their lovely new refinery in Klapedia Lithuania rather the old refinery they own in Belarus.

Wilko220 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Not an oil offer, but I couldn't find a more appropriate thread to share this (someone please tell me if there is one). Just been looking at tyre prices and noticed that STS have a good deal on Bridgestones - 10% off if you buy two, plus a free dashcam allegedly worth £100. https://www.tyrepros.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Jude Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Halfrauds are selling 4L jugs of Castrol Magnatec for £16. Vince70 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince70 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Thanks for the Halfords shoutout. I splashed the boat out and paid the extra £1.50 for the fully synthetic BMW VAG stuff and while at it got a new oil filter and air filter on the Golf as on orders over £20 you get free postage and the total bill came to £27.50 delivered You can also get 10 percent off with the code PAYDAY10 so actually the more expensive oil came in at £15.80.

Tepper Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I've been using Mannol stuff from eBay for everything for the past few years - coolant, oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid (including some quite specific stuff), hydraulic oil... not all from the same bottle of course! Haven't had a problem with any of it so far and it's great value, especially if you buy 10 or 20l at a time. They also do most manufacturer-specific stuff like low ash or PD oil, so it's not even a case of 'close enough'. Vince70 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Bump to save creating a new thread. Just noticed there is 20% off voucher on eBay. Two 5l bottles of 5w30 works out as £13.99 each posted. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303136363917 The offer is a minimum spend of £20, so if you go for a single bottle, then you need to spend a bit more to get that 20%. Maybe find a seller that has an oil filter? Oil change for under 20quid then. GMcD, Vantman and Stanky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
