Remember a single 20l container is not much more than a 4 for 3 on 5l containers.

I find the 20l cans a bit difficult to handle, so have to decant into smaller containers... ...which I can't be arsed for the extra cost ;D
You driving over this time? Can see them allowing 40l oil as hand luggage ;D

They are more of a pain to pour by hand, but the empty containers are more useful IMHO. You can also get the oil out more easily if you drill 2 holes in the cap, fit a pipe down to the bottom in one hole and a schrader valve in the other and pressurise with an airline/ foot pump. You can then decant into a smaller container or just run a hose straight into the oil filler on your engine. :y
I would be up for 20L. If we get another taker we could do a 4 for 3 on the big containers.

I used to get coolant in 20l drums, esp when the tractor was blowing its load all the time. Until I realised 4x5l coolant was cheaper ;D
The 20l empties are useful :y
I suspect you have hit an idea about group buying 20l cans though :y

I may be interested Kevin (need to check my oil reserves..)
I just rang Eden in Reading. He said the prices did indeed go up at the weekend but not by much.
Net TC price for 3+1 cans of 4.5L £38.18
(he said it was £37.82 last week but I am not convinced..)
He said 3+1 of the 20L cans was £208.96 - that is a lot more than the small cans - I wonder if he quoted me for 4 rather than 3.. :-/

Ouch! That sounds a bit steep. Can't be right. :-/

Excellent, good to have a friendly (if not your local) parts man ;)
So, with offer, 4 x 5l is marginally cheaper than 1 x 20l by my calcs...

lol not very consistent with what I was told then..
I might try and buy at the 10.83 price tomorrow (which he told me was the new price ::)).
and the 20L price has come down? (apart from the 4/3 not being applicable any more - again different to what my chap said..)

Lol, Dad my partsman read me the bulletin which is where i got the info from.
If you can get the oil at the old price then do it quick.....as long as they do the 4 for 3! :y
