20% off 'till 4p.m. - code Time20

Might be of use if, like me, you're due an oil change in the next few thousand kilos.

Double check their prices lads.I think they use that dynamic pricing stuff.So a week before the discounts start they increase the price.Sometimes you might find a bargain but it's rare.

I checked the oil price last week... when they nearly made me buy a set of tailored car mats reduced to €20 from €30 but I realised the untailored mats are working just fine before committing to being sucked in... was about the same €33/5 litres... ordered 2 of 'em today @ €53 after discount. Funny though the 2 pack (10 litres) is priced at €72.99 while they are €32.99 each... I guess maths isn't their strong point!

I always buy my oil from Mick as he's much cheaper (for oil) than Euro Car Parts / carparts4less ... and I generally avail of a special offer... last time I paid €28 for 5 litres. You'd struggle to find in under €50 in a motor factors - 5W30 Fully Synthetic with VW504.00 and VW507.00 spec.

I bought extra the last time Halfords had a special on.It was only about a score I think for a four liter of 5w30 magnatec.Usually it's nearly 35.Magnatec is probably better than it deserves TBH.

Has to have the VW specs for me... Kast is the brand Mick sells... the Euro+ is the one with the VW spec... I've been using that for years. There are other Kast 5W30 fully synthetics that are cheaper... with different manufacturers' specs.
