dobby Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Tesco has oil on offer. Castrol edge 1ltr down to £10 from £15. Others too but I got an edge. Cheers Quote
stesrg Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Yes ASDA has Castro GT on offer semi synthetic or mixed as they call it for £10.00 Too Ste Quote
Vik54 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Semi-synth +1 - but it'll be good for yer shed if you've got one Think I'd better go stock up seeing as the Astra's started eating oil Quote

Dblock Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Alot of people have gone of Mobil1 as it changed for the worse. Its no longer bmw and porcshe aproved maybe why its going cheap? Quote
Neilp Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Asda weren't meant to stock it so they had to get rid of it quickly. Zmanalex's said it's good, still 50quid plus online. It's a new formula now some efficiency improved stuff.. No idea Quote
dobby Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Ok Castrol edge is the fully synthetic in the golden coloured bottle. Quote
ray350gt4 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 think its not BMW approved for new cars as they now use 0/30 or 0/40 longlife.the only problem with that is BMW are suffering from sludging in the engine and causing engine faults/failure. Quote

No it was because its not as long lasting and they have taken out alot of detergents and some of the bits to keep it better longer apparantly. How was asda not ment to stock it though they must have bought thousands upon thousands of bottles of the stuff. Quote

How was asda not ment to stock it though they must have bought thousands upon thousands of bottles of the stuff. It came in by accident in my mums store. They were only selling castrol at the time. So the pallet that came got put out on a sale. So I bought a few bottles for 15quid. Quote
Dblock Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 the couple of asdas round me have them aswell, who ever screwed that up must be getting their p45. Quote
Neilp Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Lol I've been in every week looking for it and they've never had any more. How much is it in the store at yours? Quote
