Title: Have oil prices crashed or something?
Post by: Alex on October 08, 2010, 09:50:00 AM
I've just called my local VW garage and Synta Silver is £10.15 plus VAT per five litre bottle.

That's less than half the price it was last time.

WTF?

£11.93 all in - I've bought one for now, but I'm gonna pick up a couple more tomorrow.

Not so easy to sell oil, you're not allowed to post it are you?

possibly not with Royal Fail.

It could be that they are flogging it off cheap as VW don't use it any more I think.  I bought four tubs of it off ebay not so long ago for £50 and the seller turned out to be a Skoda Dealership.
