right, il educate you. unless im missing something, this is how my order has just worked out dear boy...

5 x 1litre = 5x(5.50+vat) £6.46x5 = £32.31

+ £5.99 delivery = £38.30

ok so far??

web price via this link... Opie Oils: Performance Lubricants

5 x 1 litre £9.99 x 5 = £49.95

erm.... have i made a mistake somewhere???

please let me know

No, your maths is excellent, take 3 house points
Are you saying the 11 quid saving is poor?

As chocolate o brian says, its basically just over a 20% discount

He is doing 4 litres of the stuff on ebay for £37.99 so we are basically getting a litre free.

Im happy with that price, our local Halfords is about £11 a litre and they only ever seem to have 3 in stock.

Any chance of this including some fully synthetic gear oils such as Castrol SMX-S or Motulgear (is this fully syn?)? Not Silkolene SYN5 as I've found this to be very detrimental to gear change in comparison to Syntrax, but I was originally seeking to improve on Syntrax's performance so don't want to revert to that. I have two cars to change so would need 10L.

Ordered my 5L today.
Opie oils also supply my engine oil, Silkolene Pro S. I noticed their P&P was for up to 10kg so 5L of engine oil may be in the same weight band.
I've 10L in stock so I've not checked this with Guy but it may be worth asking.

BTW, Thanks to Ayde for initiating this GB.

John

Mine turned up monday morning

I also ordered 5 litres of oil. I think we got it at the best price around at the moment, I know Opie have had this on offer for not much more in the past but at present it is full price so we have made a saving. I did email a few other companies and they didnt even come close to Opie, so thanks to Opie
