PSA: MANNOL 5w-30 oil currently working out at less than £2 a litre...! (Again!) OFFER EXPIRES TOMORROW 30/10

[RoverFolkUs]

Looks like they've got another flash sale going on.. 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303139536604?

^ that stuff is what I'd be using in most modern N/A petrols that aren't fussy about oil (e.g no wet belt or timing chain) - £45.49, with a 20% coupon "FIXUP20" which works out at £36.39 delivered for 20 litres!! 

 

They also have VW longlife 504/507 5w-30 if you have a fussy modern: 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303124417772?

Which is £55.49, working out at £44.39 delivered, again for 20 litres! 

They also seem to have various specs of 0w-20, 5w-20, 0w-30 which seem less bargainous but still very cheap. 

I'll be putting an order through for the workshop tomorrow. Bear in mind trade prices we usually pay between £59.99-69.99 + VAT for 20L on the 5w-30 stock, so it's pretty much half the price. 

Other oils are ordered as required so I'll have to do some sussing to see if there's much saving to be made putting a bulk order through with this offer...

Fantastic, just got 20 litres of 10w40 for the 406 for £33.19 👍

[NorthernMonkey]

Just ordered 60lts of 5w30 C3 for £130 inc VAT so about £105 once the VATs claimed back.

That’ll do 👍👍

[Popsicle]

Ffs I only ordered 20 litres last month, just had to order another tub as I can't resist a bargain....

Will that be okay in a 1.4T (140 bhp) astra GTC ?

Check the spec specified by Vauxhall against the advert, these oils usually satisfy many manufacturers criteria despite being VW spec

[New POD]

For Europe. Manual says Dexos 2 any of : 0w-30, 0w-40, 5w-30, 5w-40

Outside Europe its more interesting. I assume they can't get dexos 2

I'm thinking 

I'm not stupid enough to think that all oil is the same  but I can't see why if the None European spec for my engine is met by both oiks you've posted,  the only reason for the GM only spec for Europe is one of profiteering ? 

 

[beko1987]

I wish I had space to store those big drums. Equally aren't they a twat to pour into the engine from? 😂

£18/£20 plus a filter once a year is still good value though

[Schaefft]

Looks like they have the same kind of discounts on ATF/hydraulic oils. Thanks for sharing. I just spent 70 quid on 10l of LiquiMoly engine oil the other day...

Me too

[Saabnut]

Thanks for the heads up, I needed more oil in stock. Of course, what I really needed was 120l in stock, so that is what I have ordered!  Should last me a year or so....

you can buy a tap then just borrow the measuring jug from your kitchen

Wots the difference pls between energy and energy premium which I've bought from these guys before?

[beko1987]

I put the energy premium in the Xsara 2 weeks ago and gained 87 horsepower*

 

I didn't even know they did different types, I just put 5w30 in and sort low to high and the 5l bottles of whatever are usually near the top 

[sierraman]

Boughted. I make that something like £9 per oil change for me, an OE filter brings it to £16 a change. 

[cort1977]

Thanks for that, should keep my ungrateful twat of a VW happy.

[scdan4]

Bought a tub. Thanks for the heads up. 

[EyesWeldedShut]

If you're as tight as a duck's arse ( like me) - possibly get a further 5% cashback - https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ebay/

[EyesWeldedShut]

12th Aug I paid £30.59 for 10 litres of 5w30 from the same seller - today £33 (after cashback) for 20 litres
Happy days.
Thanks for the heads up.

[320touring]

Cheers for flagging. Oil for the Clio and Oxford bought, plus some for @jaypee's galaxy.

[primeradoner]

Thanks for the heads up . Ive got less than 3L left in my existing tub so ordered another

I cannot see much - there's a slightly different description but other than one using 'esters' in it - got me puzzled. 7908 matches Bini LL-04 which we should be using but 7511 matches the PSA Spec for the same engine/CAT/DPF. I've been using 7511 since 2018/19 in the Bini and, so far, it's not blown up

500ml plastic coke bottles are robust enough to carry a top up in the boot - I use these for measuring oil in - wider spout and bigger than coke bottles - still needs a funnel, steady hand and a non-windy day  

[JJ0063]

This Mannol stuff is such good value for money. I’ve used the 5l burgundy bottles for a couple of years now and always thought that was incredible value for money. 
 

Think I’ll invest in one of these huge ones now! Just need to work out what one I need to suit the Fiesta 1.4 TDCI and the van being the 1.9 84ps PD. Hopefully they’ll take the same!

Cheers OP!

I had an innocent smoothie bottle cut open as a funnel when I had my zx 1.9td to pour veg in! Was minging after a few years of rolling around in the boot but the PERFECT size and the top wedged itself mega well into the filler neck 👌

[Wgl2019]

Garage stock topped up. Makes an oil and filter change on the Up! about £12 (with a decent VW/ Mann filter too 😉).

Thanks, I now remember why I bought premium before, because my Hyundai has a sticker like this under the bonnet.

My bad - I totally missed that 7511 is not rated at C2 or C3 so baaad for DPFs

I remember someone on the OOF that the scum on the filler cap on the V6 omegas increases with Shell Products.
