From my experiences branded POA based oils should sell at between £5 to £7 a litre. So ECP's "retail" (before discount) prices looks way too high.

Piper is a good price for Helix Ultra.

Think there maybe a trade price war in the midst as the oil sales reps are doing the rounds for supply contracts: Current spiel from the Castrol one is they're offering a engine warranty after an oil change. Not read the lengthy small print, but we all know the Scoob's reputation to lunch a big end shortly after a service.

Yeah, its a good oil but always the cheapest via E-bay. That said, Demon Tweaks can have some great offers on this as well.

Well petrol prices are insane as i believe oil prices are at there lowest in a while. Shame on Europarts.
