See, if Governor Swarzenegger had used a good engine oil in his Hummer this never would have happened!

Motul 300V is tops, equivalent to Silko PRO. 8100 is like Mobil 1 (100% PAO. Let's have a bit of decorum so that I can see who's ordering and who's not so, please start a list like so:
1. Oilman 10L Pro S 5w-40 2. 3. 4. 5.
Thanks Simon |

any garage even a main dealer will use parts supplkied to them by
yourself (as long as they are proper parts etc) but theres nothing to
stop them shoving the oil in their own car when you leave it with them,
its a trust thing

Probably more like €200 euro (i hope). We need five people to buy 20L (4x5L) to make this work. I'm guestimating a delivery cost of about £50 sterling. Soooo my calculations: 20x 5L @ £30.50 each = £610 + £50 = £660 = approx €970 / 5 = approx €195 per person Not bad at all, considering this is the absolute pinnicle of lubes, Castrol Magnatec muck costs about the same from halfrauds.

The only thing that's mad about this price is how low it is! Mobil 1 is £9 to £11 per litre. This stuff is in fact better as it's ester based and at £5 - £6 per litres it's a bargain. Halfords own costs about this and it's a modified mineral oil, not a proper synthetic! Cheers Simon |

Red3, Fey, the 5w-40 is perfect for the "normal" bmw motors.
Fey are you interested in getting some?? mikerd4, the problem is that the self proclaimed decent stuff is usually not at all decent especially in the price dept. The silkolene is for real. oilman, do you have prices on the motul stuff for robbie? Should he be using 10w or 15w in his e36 M3? |

Not sure; had to replace the ignition and a couple of bushings; cost me €320 and the garage I bought it off on March 1 refuse to refund that or the €130 I shelled out on their instruction for an airbag sensor and diagnostic. The car has spent a total of 5 weeks completely off the road since I got it, and I've still to put 1,000 miles up on it. The garages excuse for not covering what I've had to pay for it to work was "...and you only paid €12,000 for a 1998 BMW and we had to replace the clutch and flywheel costing us €1,500 and we only gave you 3 month engine and gearbox warranty so if you come after us for your money we'll come after you for that....". And I still have to get an airflow sensor to stop it conking out. So, bottom line, I have to look at the finances and see can I afford the proper oil!!! I will be naming and shaming the garage post solicitor-talk; I still have copies of the ads for the car! Here's one of them... http://motornet.webzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car &carID=202181 Edited by Fey! |

@Fey - Thats not the way to do business. March 1 - surely thats still
under the three month warranty until June 1, unless I'm completely
thick!
@llatsni - I'm in for the oil but - just need to figure out which grade and I will be back to you |

Just to put the prices in perspective, I had the 523i is for an "Oil" with the local main dealer today. On the invoice, the oil line item is 7L @ €15 per L = €105, just for the oil! I'm sure they use fine products (can't say I actually fault their work) but you pay for convenience and laziness. Actually that oil price is ex. VAT so the real price for the oil is over €120! Holy s*it! Edited by Dergside |
