Changed the lad's oil the other weekend and was staggered that my local parts place charged me £25 for a gallon of oil AFTER discount. £41 for an oil and filter - which he never paid me for I might add.
So this lunchtime I was in Tesco. They have 2 litre pots of semi-synth in 10w 40 (and many other grades too actually) at a fiver each. I did the quick maths and realised that was £25 for an 80 series sump full. I also had £7.50 worth of vouchers.
I filled my trolley.
Now this isn't meant to be a competition as to who can find the cheapest oil anywhere. I'm just saying, £2.50 a litre is close enough for me. Ok so someone will say it's not genuine Toyota oil, not that I have ever seen a Toyota refinery. But don't confuse me with someone who cares. It's oil and has some numbers on the back and will only go a few thousand miles and get changed again.
If you want to pour unicorn tears into your engine at ridiculous prices then be my guest. I'm not driving my Lambo at the present or the Pagani, so this will go into the thumping great big 4.2l commercial engine up front of the Cruiser.
