Seems like a bargain to me :-\
GM oil (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-X-10w-40-GENUINE-GM-VAUXHALL-SEMI-SYN-ENGINE-MOTOR-OIL-5L-/160716260204?pt=UK_Vehicle_Oils_Lubricants_Fluids&hash=item256b6f836c)
Considering i was priced that much just for one 5lt at vx
-
That is a good price - wonder if it's old stock?
-
Probably past its use by date. Yes even oil has one :y
Not sure why, but hey :-\ :-\ Personally I can't see oil going off. Can you ???
If it does go off, maybe someone could educate me/us :y
-
That is a darn good price. too good to be true? :-\

still to much for oil ,wont pay it ;D ;D and it maybe patten part oil ;D ;D
-
Is it used? :)
-
That's better than the TC price! It's a 24 mile round trip for me to collect mine as well - so that's another £5 or so!
-
When you factor in the delivery cost its almost exactly the same price as TC.Bloody cheap though,if your close enough to go and collect it. :y

Got to agree with Albitz on this one.
There again why would the jocks (no offence intended) who are known to be a tightwads sell it so cheap?
I will get mine as I always do from my local dealers (2 in Leicester) using the trade card at whichever has the better deal at the time. :y
Oil I am told does indeed have a dated lifespan too, but to be honest I have never looked on the label or container....I will now though.
-
Same price as Tradeclub, give or take, by time its delivered. So not a great deal.
-
On the Ebay page the picture shows a website url www.atcarparts.co.uk
On their website each 5 litre of GM oil is £10.45 and is you spend over £50, postage is free. So.... 5 x 5 litre of GM 10/40 = £52.26 ... even cheaper! :y :y
I might just buy myself some. :y

It's already millions of years old ...... I can't see another few years making much odds ::) ::) ::) ;) ;)
-
I would definitely expect this to be 'old stock' that has been offloaded by dealers...
Hopefully AndyC can confirm... :y
-
More than likely used cooking oil from...chicken flied wice.....grasshopper :y
-
Oil is oil :P
-
The individual price for 5 litres is now showing at £15.98.
Last night I ordered four cans at £10.45 each including the V.A.T............and FREE DELIVERY. :y
Paid £41.80 in total. :y :y
I have email confirmation on price and quantity. :y.......I think they f**ked up with the price. :y

Er sort of. I suspect that a Dealer has ordered a few pallets to meet his purchase targets, he then takes all the rebate and sells the pallets on to a factor outside of there selling area at a reduced price.
If anyone wants to buy a pallet which is something like 148 cases, collect only then let me know

The oil I bought from my local Vx dealer (about 3 months ago) is dated 23/2/2012
The oil that arrived today is dated 3/9/2012
Not sure if that's a production date. It doesn't say it's a use by date. :y
-
If oil doesn't deteriorate catastrophically in an environment where it's heated to up to 130 degrees C, forced through tiny clearances under extreme pressures, whipped up by rotating parts and subjected to hot gases containing combustion products I'd be pretty surprised if it degraded at all sitting on a shelf in a motor factors, to be honest. ;)
-
Couldn't agree more ^^^^ :y
The date is a filling date (date oil put into the container) and is a means of tracing faults (usually related to fill levels, decoration faults, container faults etc) related to the fillng process. Traceability also from this to batch of oil filled.

Ah, I see. I thought as much. :y
