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

[chodweaver]

They're drop shippers - they look like they hold stock, but they don't - they buy in when they have an order (possibly only when they have enough orders to buy their stock at a wholesale price). If they don't get enough orders along with yours, or their wholesaler has no stock, you'll either get a refund, or a long delay, and then a refund when you chase your order. Annoying, but unfortunately legal, afaik.

My 5L arrived *Amazon [with apologies for delay....] Yesterday.

I've opened a case with eBay on not received. I ordered it about a week ago when the last offer code was on. There is a shipping tracking code assigned but it's not left their warehouse yet. Presumably they've over sold and not kept on top of their inventory. Or their packaging staff are working like crazy to get orders out of the door.

me too, exactly my experience.  Their feedback is terrible.

I've ordered from them loads of times and they've always been great. Something must have gone terribly wrong and fallen apart their end recently.

Same problem here after I ordered 20 litres of 10w 40 from them, just got a refund instead.  But on reflection I don't need that much as it's only the 940 that uses it, so has done me a favour not turning up. Plus I found 4 litre of the stuff I didn't realise I had!

[SiC]

Just had an email to say it was shipped and arriving tomorrow. Ordered 9th Jan. 

[SiC]

Finally arrived.

still no response from the seller, ebay have just refunded me. great - three weeks wasted waiting for a delivery they had no intention of sending

It seems to be all the oil sellers, i ordered 2x 5L of 5w50 for the decent car, that took over a fortnight, normally with me in a couple of days

[RoverFolkUs]

The times I've previously ordered it before Xmas, it arrived either the next day or following day

Be a shame if it's all gone tits up, need to reorder soon!

Better not delay.  I've now had my refund from ebay.  And bought 4 litres of Dexron III of Amazon from the same company without realising it for £11.92.  See if it turns up.

Luckily not too desperate as a trade parts supplier is doing 20L of 5W-30 C3 for £54 at the moment which is much cheaper than the likes of ECP and the other factors. It usually works out at about £45 from Mannol so it's not the end of the world now!

ECP had gone upto nearly £95 for 20L before Christmas which was quite frankly a ridiculous increase hence the reliance on Mannol!

[RoverFolkUs]

This has gone ridiculously cheap again so about to reorder. Hopefully it shows up! 

VW Longline 5w-30 (C3 spec) is working out at just £40.70/20L with code JANPAY20

And normal fully synthetic 5w-30 (The ford spec) ideal for most non DPF cars that call for 5w-30, particularly 00's petrols) they sent a special offer of £73.99 for 2x 20L, and then with the JANPAY20 coupon that's about £29.60/20L

[lisbon_road]

My Amazon order for Mannol Dextron III atf turned up. £11.92 for 4 litres.   

Euros want £73 for five litres. 

[95 quid Peugeot]

5w30 still/back on offer with Janpay20.  @£38.12 which equates to the nominal 1.90L for 20L tub  was ordered Monday, Mrs 95 said it had arrived today

[drewd]

The Janpay20 code expires today.

I've just ordered 2 x 5 litres of 5w30 C3 and 6 cans of brake cleaner for £29.31. Hopefully it'll arrive in days rather than weeks.

Ordered 5L of Classic 10W40 on Sunday, delivered today, so quick enough for me.  Frustratingly they’re out of stock on my preferred ‘kit’ of VAG long life oil, oil filter and air filter for my Touran which would be a screaming deal (just over 17 quid) with the current discount code.

[RoverFolkUs]

This is really cheap for 0w-30 C3:

...for those of you running moderns that require it. 

£53.40/20L

I didn't know this thread existed until after I'd ordered some!

Placed the order last Saturday for 10w40, gear oil and coolant with carousel. After nothing happening all week, the tracking updated suddenly to say it's in the local depot.

I was expecting the worst after reading this thread and seeing their feedback. Hopefully it'll turn up Monday.

They used to be mega quick and rock solid reliable. However recently they have been really slow. Not sure why but perhaps too many have found them and are overwhelmed with orders when eBay do the 20% promo code. It's annoying but it's decent quality while being so much cheaper that it's worth holding out. 

[beko1987]

Just means you need to plan ahead! I'll buy oil for the September change in may/June 👌

[BorniteIdentity]

Anybody else end up with two?

I ordered and complained. They apologised and tried to blame postal strikes (lol). It arrived around two weeks after ordering.

Aaaand again last week too.

Extreme value.

Is that compatible with the N47 motor in an F series?

It’s LL98, I’ve used it before with no issues in the multiple BMW diesels I’ve owned - I think technically BMW recommends LL04

The fact I tend to use a 5k mile interval means it’s neither here nor there to be honest 

 

This is technically the right one
