I've been trying to track down the 4 for 3 oil offer but all my local dealers have stopped doing this.
I've just been given a price of £28.33 + VAT for a 20l drum of VX 10/40 semi synth which seems excellent, (5l cans are £12.50 + VAT each), so I'm going for it.
This is from a dealer in Liverpool where they'd get their throats cut and goolies removed if it wasn't genuine. :D
Other VX dealers were quoting 5l 10w/40 semi at £27.15 +VAT each.
-
Same 'ere. I couldn't get the separate tubs, just the massive keg :y
Sadly it's up my parents driveway, as there's literally nowhere it can go in our flat! ;D
-
Hi DBG,
Was your price similar?
-
I'm down to my last two cans of 5w30 fully, nearly time to go and plead with the parts boys for a good deal on a 20L drum for me. I have a face that says "bend me over" so I'm not expecting a good response ;D
£34 for 20L sounds pretty good to me though, for semi.
-
Mine was £38.62, no idea why. This happened at the time, I got three prices in the end - one cheaper than even the £34 but for whatever reason (the look of my face, different bloke serving me, the tribal skygods, who knows) I got the price above on the day.
Other OOFers have been quoted your price, though. Get it at £34, get two if you have the room. It's a bargain :y
-
Vauxhall oil offers are like ECP sales... There's always a deal to be had, and always 20 litres... Only thing that varies is the priceband the container ::)
-
Just for info. can confirm £34.00 for 20l 10w/40 semi. The container is clearly marked 'Trade Club' and I got the impression that the offer is available to anybody who asks for it.
Aaronjb. I was quoted a bit more for 5w/40 fully synth. but you should be able to get a 'trade offer' with no problems. Put on a 'no nonsense' face, perhaps? ;)
-
Speed read this so apologies if not in order, but the 3 for 4 offer no longer exists, because they have lower the price per 5 ltd bottle to equal the 3 for 4 price, but for each bottle.
According to vx Reading that is. Vx Bracknell where not in a position to confirm, as they where being arsy about TC in general.
-
As I have understod this from the trade club dealer, vx has stopped supplying the oil in the 5 litre cans and now only does a 20 litre for trade club. Any one being able to still find the 5 litre cans is using up old stock

Just for reference infuture as seems likely only 20ltrs available in " 1 big pot"
Does this have a tap system or wise to get a pump as cant see pouring into filler from a 20ltr pot :o
-
Oh, tell me about it, ended up supporting the drum on a shelf, and pouring as best I could a bit off via an old funnel for a jerrycan into an empty one of the old 5l containers I scrounged. I need an easier system, as you say, the 20l things weigh about the same as me! :)
-
So whilst it may be cheaper and seems our best solution now,its an akward container to use.
Too small to have a drain tap fitted and too big to pour easily.Solutions needed :y

Easy: decant it into the empty 5l containers that you've still got, using a funnel made by cutting the bottom out of a plastic fuel can.
At that price it's almost worth my while buying some!
-
Getting my oil this morning.. Still have the 5 ltr bottle left in the offer so gonna snap them up.
-
Always a solution Nick..well done mate :y

I bought a tap that screws on in place of the cap on a 20L oil can from my local factors. Slow to pour, but makes it easy to decant the oil into a more sensible container.

My local dealership has more 5ltr oil bottles left you can shake a stick at..

A quick EBay finds them at about six quid.

Just on this, I need to restock my supply.
Vx Heathrow offered me £35.47+vat (£42) if I buy 2x 20L or more. (10/40 Semi) Otherwise its £41+vat.
Can't beat Liverpool prices, but £10.50 per 5L is not bad.
Anyone near me interested?

I'd be up for 20L :y
Maybe more.. I'll have to check my stocks. ;D
Worth asking what they'll do the 5w30 for?

Selfishly yes ;) (The BMW takes 8L at a time..)
-
Ok. I'll call back and ask :y
-
Rang them back and it's all change, for the better :o :o :o
Now saying:
10/40 Semi in 20L Drum if buying 2 or more = £26.74 + vat so £32 in total :)
5/30 Fully in "A1 Spec" ??? - £40.60+vat for 20L drum, again buying 2 or more.
Think before I was given trade price, not trade club.
-
Good prices. :y
-
Skurray's Swindon 20L 10W-40 £27.95. :y

Sounds good.
Humm I wonder if Vx Camberley are in TC, time for another phone call.
-
That's a no, did hint at why as it's same parts if I order from Reading, just not TC prices.
Did appear open to getting parts delivered there, hummm. Faff though.
Vx Heathrow are on my commute, so can just call by.
-
Sooo.. anyone else want a can of 5W30? I know it's good on the shelf for a while but 40L would last me at least 3 years ;D

Can you buy it from the cheapest dealer, and pick it up from your nearest dealer? Works with Bracknell who are stroppy about TC for some reason. I just order it from Reading and pick it up at Bracknell. Although the two are part of Eden group. Not sure it will work outside a group within Vauxhall.

Yep, I'm up for one. :y
