Use the code edge20 for 20% off. Mention you're a member of this forum too. Free shipping kicks in at 60.

I buy all my oil once a year when it's on sale and it's usually £46 for 8l.

Even if another place is cheaper, Opie get my money for the good advice on the phone and the good customer service.

That Opie code is handy. I’ve always used Castrol Edge 0-30 in the B10 but after the timing chain guides were replaced I was told 5-30 would be a better option (engine has never used oil) and that’s a bit cheaper.

I’ve always bought Mann oil filters from ECP unless there are any other recommendations?

Just ordered 8l of Castrol Edge 5-30 for £55.79, that's the lowest price I've paid in 6 years so can't complain!
