secretagentmole Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Servicing the ER5, need some 10w40 4T oil. Cheapest I can get near me is around £28 for 5 litres. Found a supplier in Northampton called Lubetech, 5 litres, 10w40 4T, with full additive pack, £18.99 delivered inc VAT. They do oils for outboards, 2 strokes, 4 strokes, diesel, petrol, aviation, marine, agricultural, brake fluids, ATF fluid, the works. So if you are after UK blended oils, to spec, with all the additives etc but at a nice price, try them! http://www.lubetechshop.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazbev Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Eurocarparts every time, subscribe to their emails for good discounts they recently had a bogof on oil but just before Christmas I bought 20 litres of triple qx 5w 30 fully synthetic c3 oil reduced from £109 to £49.99 and a 15% promo code so five years of oil for £43 quid. Keep an eye on Amazon as well for the occasional discounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Sometimes you also get what you paid for,knocked an engine out in week with cheap oil.. It was not cheap in the long run believe me,never do it again,cost arm and a leg to put engine crank etc back to running right.. it doesn't pay..

bruno22rf Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Halfords usually have a half price sale on their own brand oil at the start of each year-5 litres for a tenner. I usually buy mine then even though the car doesn't get serviced till April ( ish ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazbev Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Well the Triple qx is made by shell and Halfords oil made by Comma. If they meet the British Standard and are approved by VAG Merc and BMW, what more do you want? See my earlier post, don't pay through the nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my earlier post, don't pay through the nose Morrisons own brand oil is made by Valvoline apparently and its very good. Price is not always a good indication of quality. I have personal experience of so called good garages using very low budget oils but charging the earth. My mate did his apprenticeship at a garage that was a Castrol Approved Service Centre, (this was back in the 70s) everywhere you looked it had big Castrol signs all over it. Most of the oil they used for services came from Woolworths or was the cheapest oil on special offer at the local cash and carry. .

chris1961 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Most oil is produced in the same refinery take no notice of brand because that is what you are paying for Morrison's own is valvolene that's what I use and it's nearly halph price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Our little 1.25 Fiesta has done 141,000 on Triple QX 5w30 fully synthetic and the engine sounds like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
