Got millers for that price

Checked the site and it's £27 + postage + filter from what I can see.

I might try the ECP stuff for the price

Thanks for the heads up :thumb: got mine for £23 and paid a garage 1 hours labour to do the change, so bargin :D

No problem,

I actually linked to the PD (VAG) Fully Synth above, the non PD stuff is here

& its actually cheaper - including a Bosch Oil filter its £15.39 delivered!

Offer ends today though.

Nice one Pete, that'll do nicely!!

Just been through the Oil Advice and Recomendations here fred and now more confused than when I started!

With winter coming up, is 5w40 best for a standard 02 WRX on 72k ?

It's probably made by someone like Carlube or Comma (who do Halfords brand etc.) It certainly won't be an ester based synthetic, but if you're ok with that, It'll probably be fine.

Did I click the wrong link, its £21.98 for me??

No its right but you need to do the following - select the oil, then your bosch filter (will need to enter your reg for this) - go to checkout and enter "Service30" into the promo code box & update. You should then see it total £15.39.

Oh and i also run 5w40 in my wrx.

thanks pete, really appreciated!

I can find the sump plug ring but I thin they are easy enough to get hold of.

I'll stick with Millers 10w40 for my classic wagon. :)

Yes - when you have drained the oil if you take it to a motor factors i am sure they will have a similar one for you.

Failing that import car parts or a local dealer (IF you have one!) would be another option.

I find that they are ok to use again but if unsure its always best to replace.

Oil ordered yesterday, arrived this morning. Can't beat that delivery!

I just ordered the non-PD fully synthetic and Bosch filter, applied the 'Service30' discount code and ended up at less than £16 !

Ordered two filters and two lots of oil and got free postage as well.

I would guess the oil is produced by Comma, worth a try as I have already had two engine failures when using Millers so the more expensive oil is still no guarantee !

Just as a heads up, the offer is on. 5 litres of the black stuff and a filter for £17.99 delivered using the code WEEKEND25.

heads up all

5w40 full synth oil (5L triple qx)
+
mann oil filter
=
£13.29

looks like a good deal for a oil change if you change it a lot sooner than the book miles

Use code SUMMER30.

30% off of the oil plus free filter.

Mine came to £12.59 with a Bosch filter.

thanks, i forgot to put the code in the listing lol

I need an oil change soon. You guys run this stuff. We use euro car parts in work.

For a standard ish car not do track days etc, I can't see why not? I know it is no where as good protection wise compaired to something like gulf commotion etc, but it is quarter the price, and if you are going to change it every 2-3k miles, then I think it would be fine.

Will opt for a better oil then.
