Engine Oil

sassy_one

I need a oil and filter change, which is taking place next week, However, I was wondering if anyone can recommend the cheapest place for me to get the Oil, failing which the garage will get it AT COST.


I need 4.5 litres of 5w-15w engine oil, a good qulity one too

I also need a oil filter, for a Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 Automatic on a 2000 plate.


Any advice please

Euro car parts website for the oil filter. 5w-15 oil isn't something I've heard of. Closest I can find is 5w-20 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-651-5w-20.aspx

Ooosp think it is 5w-20w - I will check tomorrow


I need 4.5 litres, meaning I can't just buy one bottle as I need another 500 ml grrrrrrrrr :mad:

Any ideals and the cheapest place to get it??

Also, Euro Car parts, how long for delivery?
Can they deliver it to my garage??

Before ordering anything, I would check what oil you need. Call a dealer and ask, or any good motorist discount store should be able to advise. Probably 5-40 or something near, cant remember what mine took.

Think mine takes it so thin because its a V6 DuraTec engine??

I have a small bottle what i brought ages ago that I will check tomorrow.

I have had a price of £50 for 5 litres of oil, but I was hoping for this to be a little cheaper being this is Money Saving after all LOL

Perhaps £30-£40 ??
Or am I asking to much??

I have NEVER paid £50 for 5 litres of oil, and I have had some strange/exotic cars. Try partco, or some /any other discount store apart from hellfords and you should end up getting it for less than that. Its an old car, so I would not be spending a fortune on oil.

Oil filter. at most should be nine quid..

Okay I will have a look around at the weekend.

I will say, Ford main dealership have always done my oil change and filter for £30, but after 6 months of using the oil in there, I'm pretty sure, like everyone has siad to others on here, it has to be the cheapest cr*p around, so I'm not going there again!

I ask for money sake, but I'm sure of the answer LOL

Ford main dealership (that's probs scared a lot of people away already ha ha) would I be okay having there oil and filter change long as I change it every 6 months or is it a defo NO??

I do high mileage (motorway)

After a bit dig around, it looks like you need 5W30 semi-synth.

If they are willing to do an oil/filter change for £30, I personally would go for it, not worth getting my hands dirty for that much!
