Now next question, Full Synth 5W30, ok for the occasional small top ups with normal 10W40 semi in there?  :-\

Don't just use it for top ups. Mine runs it all the time. :y
Ok to mix with semi then. Just checked the price online 39.99 for 4 litres  :o but curently on sale at 10.00 :y

Yep. I've stocked up on it. :y

10.00 is a Bl**dly good price TBH, free is even better, shame this freebie didn;t happen yesterday as doing the homework reckon I would have bought some more.

Having said that, just saved crap loads online on there 'better than half price' for the Turtle Wax gear.

Worth popping into Halfrauds just in case. They had piles of oil at a tenner for 4l in the local one a week or so ago.

Kevin thats for suggesting that:

I went to Halfords and they didn't have any - went home and website said they did, so I did a reserve and collect. Went to pickup today and they gave me semi synth Ford oil, so I say not what I ordered. They say sorry we don't have the GM fully synth in 4ltrs, oh but we do have it in a combination of 5ltr and 2ltr cans - you will end up with an extra litre but we will do it for the same price, is that ok?

So 17ltrs for £40 :-)

Did better than Me Steve, went to pick up my less than half price Turtle Wax stuff and bits, saving a fair bit.

When asked about the Fully Synth for a Tenner they just fell about laughing.  :(

Disapointing - my branch did say they had shifted a hugh quantity with garages coming in and buying 20 or 30 cans a time!

At least you got the other bits :-)

I went into get some and completely sold out so he rang through to another and yep sold out , so no doubt these garages will be forwarding on a hefty price for oil changes with all the cheap oil they stocked up on  ::)

Yes, I bet they won't say "....we have some really cheap Halfords oil, would you like a bit of money off your service sir?"  :-\

Probably more like, 'we will need to charge a bit more for the Oil Change as we would highly recommend Fully Synth on your Car'  ::)
