rrp is £40+, they seem to have it for £19.99 - £21.99 normally, but if you use code HOLIDAY25 it brings it down to £14.99 Del, thought that a decent price for this oil.

I don't know why I bother reading comments on any engine oil posts. Post 1: "Would this be ok for an Audi that takes 5w30 even if it states Ford?" Post 2: "Yes it will be fine." Thanks for that wisdom. Audi? Which Audi? Certainly not anything with a PD engine.
Apart from the occasional good bit of advice it generally goes downhill from there into variations on
1. "All modern cars are the same - any fully synthetic oil will do"
2. "I have a mate who runs a garage and they always put Woolworths' cheapest crude in and never have a problem..."
3. "The manufacturers are trying to sell you their gold-plated, super-slip SMART technology stuff and rip you off"
4. "I've worked in an oil lab for 129 years and I know that..."
5. "It's best to change your oil every five minutes or whenever you come to a T junction, whichever is the sooner"
6. (Flip-side) "I change my oil every 80,000 miles or when it's easy to cut it into chunks and lift it out"
7. "You just need 5W30 - the numbers are the only important bit"
If you're not sure about oil, stick to what you are told in your handbook or use a trusted garage. Trust only about 10% of what you read on these threads...
...apart from this post, of course. :wink:

It will be fine as long as you don't leave it for stupidly extended milage as per VAG servicing..
Can't believe that people actually leave their oil for 20k miles..

Anyway enough of them. Anyone know if this will be ok in a 911?

Would this be ok for an Audi that takes 5w30 even if it states Ford?

The code does take 25% off nearly everything, so may be worth having a look on site

Because they
a. eventually take it to VAG and willingly pay £150+ for service
b. don't care as they sell car
c. don't understand what oil does
Personaly I would check the A and C nos or change oil more often

Would this be suitable for Peugeot 207 1.4 Vti? Peugeot recommend Total Quartz 5W30 Ineo ECS, but this tends to cost twice the price of Shell oil.

I can only seem to order this and be charged DHL £5,95 delivery, I dont know if this just because Im in Wales, but I dont really see why that should be. Even if I order just a filter it still asks me to use DHL as only option :disappointed:
