Probably past its use by date. Yes even oil has one :y

Not sure why, but hey :-\ :-\ Personally I can't see oil going off. Can you ???

If it does go off, maybe someone could educate me/us :y

That's better than the TC price! It's a 24 mile round trip for me to collect mine as well - so that's another £5 or so!

Got to agree with Albitz on this one.
There again why would the jocks (no offence intended) who are known to be a tightwads sell it so cheap?
I will get mine as I always do from my local dealers (2 in Leicester) using the trade card at whichever has the better deal at the time. :y
Oil I am told does indeed have a dated lifespan too, but to be honest I have never looked on the label or container....I will now though.

On the Ebay page the picture shows a website url www.atcarparts.co.uk

On their website each 5 litre of GM oil is £10.45 and is you spend over £50, postage is free. So.... 5 x 5 litre of GM 10/40 = £52.26 ... even cheaper! :y :y

I might just buy myself some. :y

I would definitely expect this to be 'old stock' that has been offloaded by dealers...

Hopefully AndyC can confirm...  :y
