[albitz]

Not as good as GM 10/40 semi synth,which is also cheaper on tradeclub.

If it's the GM Fully Synthetic then it's a very good price, and a very good oil.

I pay local stealer £40 ish for 20ltrs of 5w30 for our Vectras, and £35 ish for 20ltrs of10w40 for the beast.

That's good too. It's around £60 for 20L of the 5w30 on trade  club... well, the trade club that my local dealer does.

Running four slightly older Vauxhalls as cabs probably helps the discount. Four sets of service items every 8-10 weeks, plus brake kits etc, etc...

Now they're all out of warranty they know full well that they're not likely to get the cars in the workshop any more .

Having said that one of the vectras has welded its bleed screws up. That may be £35 well spent next fluid change .

Best I don't meet the tw4t who decided to use steel nipples in aluminium calipers .

£53.37 for 4x 5L cans back in February, here.. although I imagine the price is going up all the time.

Sounds about right. I bought a single 20L, which is slightly more.

[Kevin Wood]

Actually... I think the 4 for the price of 3 offer stands on the 20L containers, too, so maybe we should bet a bulk buy together next time?

That's not a bad idea - I actually went in for a 20L drum only to be told they didn't carry those at my dealer.. I'll need to go back soon anyway - I only have enough to fill the MR2 and do one more oil change on something else, then I'm out of oil.

Yep. I need some more before the next change. Aldershot stealers stock the 20L tubs.

Let me know before you go - I'd go halves on it if they've the '4-for-3' offer on.. come to think of it, there's probably one or two others who might be interested and then go four ways on it (as the actress said to the bishop).
