mail order oil

[Matt_H]

Is it worth even looking for mail order oil?  Obviously postage price is going to be the killer, but the need for oil when changes when you've got to do a landy (6000 miles) and a bike (4000 miles) sem to come around all too often.. Am I best just going to the local motor factors?

Just ask for a bulk buy discount at the motor factors.... they are likely to give you something off the price.

Unless you want something fancy, mail order just isn't worth the cost.

I've already got a trade account at camberley auto factors, but I'm sure there could still be more money to be saved... don't fancy having a drum for each vehicle.

A while ago halfords had buy 2 get one free offer which was quite good as the synth price was about the same as semi regular then.  Not seen anything like that though recently :(

oir local independant vauxhall dealer is selling Genuine GM oil at £8 a galon - GM price is something like £25  :shock: , pays to shop around - and as stated ask for discount on bulk buy - or even try a trade only place..if you dont ask you'll never know

Find yourself an Agricultural type establishment and you can have 25L for £25-30

Could try Morris Lubricants? My dad gets it in massive drums at a time and it works out quite cheap.

I get CPL Platinum XTR 10/40 through a local garage for around 35 quid with the vat on. I can get 3 and a bit changes out of that, so that's vfm I reckon.

Ahh cool, friendly locals :-)  Whereabouts you moving to?  Give me a shout if you need a hand with anything (especially if it's opening a bottle of fizzy)!

That would also be my suggestion, but if you live in the middle of a big city, it might be a problem :lol:

I used to get a free supply of top-quality (turbo-diesel) oil a while ago, whenever I needed it (or asked for it)

Digressing.
Morris Lubricants own a beautiful Sentinel Steam-Wagon

(it was the one in 'Salvage Squad')

Looks like a good company, maybe they can supply a few gallons of OMD 110 or OC 600!

Thanks for the link
