Imagine Parcel force chucking that about in the back of a lorry.  Be fun if it split.

Do you need to quote any specific bulk purchase code when getting the 4 for 3 ,or are the parts depts geared up to sell them in packs
Title: Re: Genuine GM Oil

Got 5l from Vx dealer today. Retail price is 27.54 + VAT, while with TC it goes down to 11.49 +VAT.
With 2.0l oil filter I paid 14.62 inc VAT.
Even if you have to get 5l it's still worth it.
