[Fender2004]

Went into Halfords yesterday and they are selling there own oil for only £10 normally £33 for a 4 litre pack.

Thanks, I could do with some

Euro car parts are doing 5 litres QX Fully Synth for £17 at the moment, got it in both my cars at the moment.
At the time they were doing free a oil filter as well.

Halfords must be making a loss selling it at that price - suspect their shops are struggling to compete with internet traders. Halfords service/MOT centres seem to be doing well though.

bought 2 of them: £20 for 8 litres of fully synthetic BMW LL01 spec oil 5w/30 (the purple bottle that says for Vauxhall)
Already have 10 litres of 5W30 magnatec for my iminent service, but why not keep some spare.

I believe that most of Halfords' profit now comes from servicing bicycles - which tells you a lot about today's adults, who cannot even service a bike!

I went in the other day ,looked at the price and thought whats wrong with it ?.
So is it any good?

Wow, at that price I might get some of that and put it aside for next years oil change.

Anyone know what consitency is the right for the 2.8 M52TU engine and how many litres?

Only asking because I left my manual at work

The general recommendation is fully synthetic 5W-40. Capacity 6.5 litres.

The Castrol UK site gives guidance http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectionb ... Id=7072854

Thanks Del

Spoke to my brother who is in the trade and he said that Comma make Halford's own brand oils and Comma is basically a good make.

So l went to buy some this afternoon and loads of people were buying it.

so thats next years oil change sorted!
