plenty round here, have you tried reserving it online for collect in store.  Just picked up 20L even though I don't need any for another 20K miles ;D ;D ;D

BTW the containers couldn't look more like 5L ones if they tried, even the '4L' is grey on grey :o

Never had to top up the oil in the 9 years I had my Omega.  At oil-change time, I was quite happy to let the garage supply the oil, but then, I've got a reliable garage and they're relatively cheap - I don't begrudge them their profit.

Heaven alone knows how much oil the new car will use.   :-\

Not in my experience. Mine was boxed up with a reference number on it out the back of the store. The oil in-store didn't have the promotion on it, so was full price.

Used it about 3 or 4 times so far, each time I just turn up, they take the order number. They just check up its details, then wonder off and pick it off the shelf.

Multiple branches too, Chiswick, Bicester & Banbury  :(

In my experience, most of the time they haven't bothered picking it, so pluck it off the shelves.  Its been a while since I've had one properly put aside.

That said, invariably, as I work over the road from a Hellfrauds, I order online in the morning, and wander over at lunchtime.

To be fair to them they had put my 4 cans behind the parts counter.  But I had to queue behind a man buying a new numberplate and proving his life history to do so.  I would have just picked them off the shelves except that my order is on a promise from topcashback.

What with that and the £59 120 pc toolkit that is more shopping with them than I have done for several years.
