Engine Oil Deals & Offers

Thanks, that is a great price! You can check if it's the right oil for your car on Castrols site here https://applications.castrol.com/oilselector/en_gb/c/search

Correct the thinner the oil the easier to start at minus 30 and below. I do it every winter in Finland, minus 42 sometimes. Since we have had the 0w oils and better batteries life is a bit easier.

It really doesn't. It is the SAE rating for the oil viscosity at 'low' temperature (ie. below the normal operating temperature of the engine) - The lower the number, the thinner the oil. SAE 5W30 is suitable for use in ambient temperatures down to about -30C.

Yes if you are lucky enough to see these on shelf there and not the empty shelf like I do get at Tesco' s usually for things on good offers, Tesco online also says not available. I ordered 2 from Amazon with convenience of free home delivery instead of goose chase at Tesco's and most cars needs more than 4L so with over £20 order it's free delivery for all at Amazon don't have to be prime minister member at Amazon ;) Anyways both stores got same price so whichever is convenient to you fine either ways as at this price it's not to be missed. :)

0 w 30 is better for very cold below freezing temps. Volvo for example specs 0w for their cars needing A5 B5 grade. ) the zero means 0 deg.

Fuchs used to be the supplier to GM but not sure any more...at least with a branded name like Fuchs you're getting guaranteed top quality oil...

Why isn't this proper oil? Maybe GM fill lemonade into their oil.

For that money you could get proper Fuchs oil which is very good...

Think it takes 10w40

Could you put it in a Peugeot 306 HDi?it takes 5w30....

Absolutely, I had a 2004 corsa 1.2, which I ran for 6 years on Shell 5w-40 from 33k to 84k, no chain cam issues and still smooth as, in fact upgrading from the recommended 5w-30 helped to quieten the engine. Just sold in Jan, miss it now :(

Every time I've ordered for delivery it is usually late or stuff is missing or the wrong item sent. When with 1 order I needed to get a refund, took 5 months to get my money back. If you go in the shop they are usually fine. If you need mail order either eBay or mister auto imo

Even for old cars, my Alfa is a 2005 and my Seat Arosa (which cost me £250) is a 2004, both get a fully Synthetic (a cheaper one for the seat), both get regular oil and filter changes, both run like a dream.

I never had problems with any of them...And I ordered pretty much from both of them in the last couple of years

Order online for collection only with Eurocarparts, don't bother with their delivery service. Utterly useless Also avoid carparts4less their sister company, same issue, but their customer service makes Eurocarparts look good.

This use to be made by Castrol but is now Fuchs. Not voted either way, personally use Shell 0w-30 which was £32.50 for 5L on ECP. From what i've been reading Audi dealers use it as their standard now.

Including VAT?

£15.99 from TPS

Hmm a no name oil brand at a bit particular fabulous price, think I'll skip that.

You should check actual wear after a thousand miles! There is on YouTube a guy that tested LoAdS of oils and believe me the results were shocking.... (y) I am sure there was an English translation on bottom as well because it was in Russian if my memory serves me well.

Hi, this was an offer 17days ago, so could be the reason it won't work now

For some reason the code is not working for me, unless I’m doing something wrong, wanna buy the Castrol long service. Any suggestions?

They had this yesterday and was supposed to end at midnight last night. Looks like they've "extended" it to midnight tonight as just tried with any old oil and came up with "Your Discount has been applied: ( Hurry! - 50% Off Oils & Filters - Ends Tonight! )" Downside for Op in posting an ECP vouchercode is they are notoriously bad at issuing codes having inflated prices beforehand which may well explain negative (but no comment) votes. For what it's worth Op, I've voted hot, saved me on air & pollen filter last night, had been checking prices elsewhere recently including their sister site Carparts4less and ECP was cheapest so in my books that makes this a Hot UK Deal (y)

Sales gimmick

Stand by your front door and be ready to catch when you click buy, the last time I went for this great deal mine flew through the door 2 hours after hitting the pay button on my Pc. 3.76% TCB too

Any good for Skoda Fabia 2016 1.2 petrol? 10000 miles on the clock.

Shame as I need the C2 grade :( Don’t suppose they sell that too?

Cheers £16.14 with the 15% off USA ebay code. Got some for my 2010 astra j 1.6 petrol.

would this be fine for my 1.4 astra h petrol? i do about 35 miles a day communting

Hi, please excuse my lack of knowledge but would this oil be suitable for an Audi A3 2008 2.0tdi 170bhp. The manual says VW 50700. I assume 5w30 is suitable for my car then? Just because the Shell website seems to only recommend the OW30 and not the 5w30 for the helix ultra professional. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

4 litres perfect for my 58 plate 2.0 tdi (pd). 3.8l capacity (y)

Have been using 5w40 Castrol Edge in my Peugeot 406 hdi for 6 years. Never needed to top-up between oil changes & I do them every 10000 miles.

There is no "recommend". Minimum is 3.3l or 3.5l and maximum is 4.3l or 4.5l. So 4l will be 50% and 70% respectively up the dipstick. Also as you are unlikely to get every drop of oil out, there is likely going to be 100ml+ or so still in the engine already.

Takes 4.3l or 4.5l so 4l is fine. Running a car under the recommended level oil is not the smartest move is it As far as I can recall it's Castrol have always sold it in 4l quantities.

Only the Golf features in the top 10 cars for several years. You have to go back to 2012 for a car with an engine of any reasonable size (BMW 3 series). Also how many of those Golfs are 2.0tdi varients? At 7 years old are they still modern? So they have reduced pack sizes as cars in general have less oil capacity, rather than just increase the price. Edit: Hang on a second. The VW 2.0tdi takes 4.3l or 4.5l depending on filter. So a 4l can will be fine anyway.

Don’t mind paying this price will pick some up later. Great POST! Thanx Op HOT

Got some last time at this price,cheap oil change if you can do it yourself.

This GTX 1040 is good but Im holding out for a GTX 1060 at this price. :{
