I use the Halfrauds 5w30 stuff now, and just buy a load when it's on offer at £10/4L. Seems to pop up every 6 months or so.

Is there not a dealer near "Alton Towers" Kev?

Would do, but unfortunately I have to be very careful with my back......to cut a story short, I had disc problems with 9 months off work and having to learn to walk again. So am very, very wary on weights. Kids live 50 miles away :(

Only in Aldershot and it's less hassle to pick up a shed load when the 'frauds have a sale, TBH.

I'd hope that given a smile or polite word, a member of staff would be kind enough to carry the drum to your boot, and then when home simply tipping the drum to pour off 5-6 litres into a smaller oil tub for the actual oil change would be easy enough. Anyone who has ever shifted a wardrobe/fridge etc knows that tipping the thing is very easy, compared with lifting with pure brute force. Back injuries much worse to live with than are given credit for, and you have my sympathy, hope you're 100% soon.  :)
