Not bad!My car's currently full of their £1.69/litre 20w50. It smells nice.

[messerschmitt owner]

is that only 2 litres - go to COuntrywide Stores - £16.99 for 4l of Q8 T670 Synthetic

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]

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.

[jonny69]

Cool, I'm going to have a look theres next time.

Yeah, Asda. 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.

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.

Costo!£31 for 20litres of 10/40...

[Minimad5]

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 )

Or £41 for 20litres of 5W30 fully synthetic.

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]

Asda stuff is Duckhams.Thought it was cheap, I'm used to Halfords prices.

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.

[dollywobbler]

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?!)

One of my engines is over 50 years old and anything other than cheapest chip fat will destroy it. 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.

[retrogeezer]

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]

^ 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.

[Minimad5]

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.

FFS, someone delete this fucking thread. 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.

Umm both the Asda oils in the picture are the same type? 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!

[retrogeezer]

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.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

LOL! Calm down Station!!!

 

[Milford Cubicle]

That's a common supermarket trick, they put the "OMG OFFER!!!" tag on something that isn't good value at all.
