in N. Ireland
Bought some oil for my lawn mower in B&Q the other day at nearly £9 for a litre. Today I have seen 5 litres of SAE30 online for £12.99, but the carriage from England is £17.50!

I have seen cheap multigrade engine oil but not what I am looking for.
Would anyone know of a local supply? Anywhere between Belfast, Bangor or Craigavon. :)

    I never even considered a motor factors! I don't think there are as many about as a few years ago when I did a bit of tinkering with cars but definitely worth investigating.
    Thanks.

    You could use a multigrade, like a 5w30.

    Does any one know where in the Belfast area or even anywhere near to the M1 that sells Engine Oil in 5 gallon drums / litre equivalent, might be a money saving option for my DD,s Focus.

    Thanks in Adv
