Cheap cheap oil

Post by lewis_jennings » Tue Mar 10, 2020 1:29 pm

Hi Guys,

Just picking all your brains once again!
I have found fully synthetic 10w60 oil that seems way too cheap.

Eurocarparts are selling petronas syntium for 1.80 a litre. Pics for proof attached
Does anyone know anything about this oil?

There’s nothing wrong with the oil, but you may find it becomes out of stock if you try to complete your purchase...or get an email in a few hours saying it was an error.

I’d buy 20 or 30 litres myself and hope for the best.

I've reserved 3 litres in Aston Birmingham(family) and 3 in Leeds

Thanks OP

Hopefully, they get stock in and the price stays the same as I'll get quite a lot for future cheap oil changes

Had another look. And seems the 4ltr versions are available. Not quite as good a price but not bad.
14 pounds for 4ltrs

Are people happy to be using this instead of Castrol edge? I've heard edge has more sheer strength which is beneficial for the high revving s54?

Bmw don’t even use Castrol anymore, they use shell oil. Personally I have normally used Fuchs Titan race in my m cars. But I do so few miles in my zed normally 2000 miles between changes I am happy to take the gamble on petronas.

BMW use Shell now - Ross had a barrel of 10W60 delivered last time I was at RBM.

I don't know what mine has in it, but it will be getting Castrol as I got 4 litres for free from a former M3 owner on another forum - even if I did have to go 50 miles to get it!

And I've ever put Tesco Momentum in it.
