Default Where to find cheap oil online??

I'm looking for some high quality oil for my Ibiza - it has to meet VW 506.01 spec...

Anyone know somewhere cheap to buy online?

If you have a local Euro Car Parts then get down there as they have just started stocking the following Fuchs (who make Silkolene) oils...

Fuchs Titan Supersyn SL, fully synthetic 5W40

ACEA A3, B3, B4
API SL/CF
VW 502.00 & 505.00
MB 229.1

Fuchs Supersyn Plus fully synthetic 5W40

ACEA A3, B4
API SL/CF
VW 500.00 & 505.00 & 505.01
MB 229.1
Ford WSS-M2C 917A

A 25 litre drum of the SL can be had for £85, equating to about £16 for the averafe 4.5l oil change. I had oilman verify the quality from the above specs and he says it's superb stuff.

Alternatively, contact Simon at www.opieoils.co.uk

Cheers guys - problem is that the oil HAS to be 506.01 spec, and there's only a few oils which fall into this category (and cost over £12 a litre...).

Plus I'm running the TDI at quite a high power level (over 200bhp&314lb/ft...) so want the best stuff I can get hold of.

Don't know about Euro car parts, will have to do a search.

I'd definately say contact Simon at Opie Oils (oilman on here). He'll be able to advise through the BS and may well supply what you need at a very good price. If you click through the Performance Oils section on the site you can view data-sheets for each to find what spec you need.

I defo agree with corradoboy Opie oils are really good. The guys are really helpful and know their stuff. I just ordered some Silkolene from them.
