10w/40 Engine Oil 5 L Amazon Prime £6.80 delivered

[Aston Martin]

I saw this on Hotukdeals, it's probably chip fat. But maybe of use to someone.

Compatible with VW505, BMW and MB229 though. Not long life, but if their new Audi's and so is consuming enough oil to need it, it certainly wont hurt them as a top up!

I was tempted to buy this for the Laguna oil change but the brand is a bit of a random one. Given Castrol is only £16, it's not a humongous difference to get a known quantity. Even if it's potentially the same.

On a similar note, resurrecting this thread as there's a good deal on ebay for what seems like decent enough 20W50. XJ-S about to receive 10 litres (cost a mere £18.39 incl delivery), thirsty old cat. Incidentally my CLK still running nicely on the Silverhook stuff I picked up in August thanks to this thread, no discernible difference from pricey stuff, thanks for that tip-off.

That's really thick, can't say I've ever put 20 in a motor. How does it perform when the temperature drops or do you just use it for Summer?

Performs fine although the XJ-S doesn't get much use in winter. The V12 always gets up to temperature quickly & fuel consumption seems just as bad across seasons irrespective of oil. Thicker oil keeps seepage to acceptable levels too, though if an XJ-S isn't leaking somewhere it's probably running dry!

Depends on the car, older stuff from the 70's for instance were 20/50 from new. A 2000's 16v Jap probably 10/40.

Barg. Good seller too - I bought Mannol coolant and oil from them. 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Tesco have had assorted oils on half price the last few times I've been in, looked pretty cheap to me but I can't remember the prices!!!!

[95 quid Peugeot]

Tesco 5 or 6 quid per 2L depending on spec yesterday 

[cobblers]

£8 for 4l of semi synthetic 10w40, I've got a couple. Fully synthetic was only £14 if I recall correctly

If anyone's looking for cheap anti freeze for their old cars then this is best price I've seen for 5l of ready mixed blue coolant delivered for a long while at £8.99.

Even cheaper if you buy a box of 4 and they do all types - red, purple, yellow, green etc.

 True - when I got my first car (at 16) in 1982, 20/50 was the thing pretty much everyone used and had been for a decade or more. 15/50 GTX & Duckhams was just starting to replace it though. 10/40 was around but that tended to be for fancier stuff and was de rigeur for Japanese motorcycles (as 20/50 tended to kill them unless worn out already). 

10/40 was coming in & becoming the norm on new cars during the 80's as engines got higher revving (plus things like 16v/turbo'd etc) and built to closer tolerances. 

 

The ECP Gulf oil bulk buy sounded good, I missed that one but am not needing any right now. Will keep an eye on that in future.
