Better than the Costco offer and you don't have to be a member! Enjoy

I'm not seeing the same 6L offer as you (your link just goes to CP4L homepage), and I can only find 4L and 1L bottles.

If you add 1 x 4L and 2 x 1L then the total after discount comes to £59.58 - and once you include shipping, it comes to about £63:

I don't know why don't they just price their products at a normal level and have the occasional discount code, rather than the DFS model of artificially-inflating MSRP to have discounts which appear too good to be true...which they are as it's purely psychological marketing tactics and only the gullible masses believe a 4L bottle has ever actually been £89.99 (according to Opie the official MSRP is £56.77 for 4L) :headbang:

Yup hate the sales tactic but it is what it is, just have to fish out the genuinely good deals now and again.

Add 6 one litre bottles - then you get the price - £49ish delivered :wink:

That's a good price, thanks. Crazy you have to buy it in 1lt bottles. :x
I've still got some some stock of when they messed up their pricing for a day or two in 2017, ended up with 48ltrs for £300 :) but 6 for 49 ain't bad cheers.

Lol, I think the shelf life is quite long! It's pretty much all gone now though, I do at least 4 oil changes a year.
I checked what I paid and there was a code for it to it was £61 for 4 x 4ltr. I remember when it hit the forums, everyone was running to ecp to pick up as it was clearly an error :) . To be fair they honoured everyone's orders, but it was fixed a day later. Suspect someone got a bollocking!

Why not try your local heating oil supplier. I use Devon fuels and last time paid around £120 for a 20 litre drum of Helix ultra racing 10/60.
Also cut the tops off the empty drums and replace with a bit of plywood and you have a free work seat come toolbox.
They also sell 1 and 4 litre bottles cheaply.

Ha yes I remember that! Cracking deal even if it was a mistake, I was too slow on the uptake at the time. Though I did take advantage of quite a few people selling it on at a later date for a small markup but still relatively cheap :lol:

Are you doing that rod bearing change this year out of interest? Very interested to see how they come out........

Yeah, there certainly seemed to be a lot of 'spare' castrol on the second hand market for a while! :P
I'm planning the bearings for the winter, will be interesting.

I ordered these. I only received 4 out of the 6 litres. Gave them a call today so I'm hoping the other two arrive this week
