Anyone know the cheapest place for quality branded 5W 30 motor oil please?

Thanks

  • Unsure about Cheap Oil in Worcester, but for Cheap Tyres Try Crown Tyres just up the road from Shrub Hill Train Station. They may be able to tell you the best place for oil, or may even get it for you!

    If you have a friendly mechanic, that belongs to Vauxhall Trade Club (he ought to join if he hasn't already, 'cos it's free & gets EXCELLENT discounts) the Vauxhall oil is around £14/5litre. But you have to buy 3 to get at this price. He could get you a supply.

    Otherwise Halfords quite often have offers at reasonable £$£$

    I bought 5l from Halfords last time at approx £30. Haven't got that much o spend this time.

    Might try the Motor Factors I got my wheel bearing from! :)

    Ford dealers, unbelievably, tend to be the cheapest that I've found.

    Otherwise it's around £15 in Asda.

  • I have to argree with vanboys. The vauxhall trade club often does offers fro buy 3 get one free. Make the semi syntetic oil lees than £12 for 5 litres
  • I know this is a money saving forum but i try to always buy the best oil i can,usually the one recommended by the manufacturer,mind you i drive performance cars,if i was driving something more mundane perhaps i may consider it.

    Then again I work on the theory that oil is the life blood of any engine and i have seen some bad wear on engine parts when people have used really cheap oil.

    Many will argue that some types are the same under different names and i think this could be the case,with many of the better brands.

  • Not the cheapest oil but probably the cheapest source for a top spec oil.
