Title: Oil still cheap
Post by: tunnie on 20 October 2009, 16:04:52
Popped over to the Vx dealer and stocked up with 40L of their finest semi synth to keep me going through the winter.

Its still £10.89 + vat for each 5L bottle on the 4-3 offer, still got a few filters left from the box i bought last year. Bill was £75.14 for 40L

So thats still £13.50 for an oil change, including the GM filter  :)

Yes, I am a t!t. Had it 18 months now and repairs have cost me............erm........nothing. MOT cost me .......erm........the price of the ticket. A full service cost me........erm.......£85.

I can get a 5' load flat in the back, 35 mpg around town and garages dont tell me they wont touch it for less than a grand ;D

What a t!t.


Oh yes, and I could get £2800 for it off webuyanycar.com, not £28 like most omegas. ;D
