Rob_Quads Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I need to get some oil to service my girlfriends mini so thought. Hmm lets just check Halfords to see - Thier oil ~ £42, Catrol Edge £45. I then thought well I will pop over to the Camberly Auto Factors to see what they can do...they have 1 oil make and its £50! Had not heard of the make myself, maybe it was a really good brand but I don't need a really good brand. Tried one of the other local ones and they were £47. Its just wrong that Halfords is the best place to get it. I would order off the internet but need to get it done tommorow really. Rant over. Edit: Well even Opie oils would be more than halfords so looks like they win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Don't have an account and last time I was there they would not give me one. Got a Mackro but by the time I have driven there it will negate any savings as halfords is 1 minutes away rather than hour round trip.

geoff-r Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 You can get 5 litres of oil for roughly £15 here from LDS (local motorfactor), it may not be the best but £50! Perfect for a cheap runabout that doesn't need cutting edge oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 In the end I happened to be in...Asda and they had some oil that was fairly good 5W30 stuff and also had the special LongLife requirements that the Mini needs for £32 for 5L which is actually very good.
