Eurocarparts regularly do oil discounts This is the cheapest I can find it at the moment. They are offering an extra 10% off with code.EXTRA10. A minimum spend is required but I cant find what it is!!

Googled the oil and found some eBay links, in the item description on eBay, it says it's API SN; ACEA C3; GMW16177 (dexos2™), so I doubt it's C1 :disappointed:

Great deal. They also have this in the 5w 40 for the same price:
Benefits of using a branded oil are marginal at most.
I'd rather less than half of this price and change my oil once more a year

I don't know really but I have heard many times that cheapy oil, like the supermarket own brand stuff is essentially just cleaned used oil. Now thinking back to A-levels, the hydrocarbon chains are shorter in used oil, and its lubricating effects etc are diminished.
But yeah I agree too that cheap, but still relatively decent, more often, is the best way to go.

3p cheaper at carparts4less if you use code SAVEME75 :stuck_out_tongue:
Who would have thought the ford variant wouldn't be suitable for a Vw! :confused:
You need the AV or AV-L variant. :smiley:

It says A5/B5 on the back of the bottle if that helps you.

You don't need to spend £20 to get the EXTRA10 discount. I tried it and it works.
