Cheapest place to buy quality 10/40 semi synthetic derv oil?

Comments

  • Try a motor factors such as: http://www.mpdonline.co.uk/

    I recently got a 50 litre drum of X Power 10w40 part synthetic diesel oil for £118 + VAT. It's re badged Mobil oil and I use it in my vans, one of which is now on 307k miles on original engine. I just use it to top up though.

    I got this at Marshall Motor Factors in Cambridge.

    our local independent but any factor that does Motaquip will have it. They also do bigger barrels (25 & 225l) but we didn't think the saving was worth it, depends how many vehicles you run
