Nope, get it from opie oils, works out a damn sight cheaper and they usually have offers such as a litre free when you but 4, plus you get forum discount on top  :happy2:

Noticed that Mobil 1 ESP is about £8-9 at tesco at the moment too.  Seems to be about twice the price in Halfords?

Until a few weeks ago Halfords were doing a promotion, at £32 for 5 litres, - a bargain.

Just been to Tesco Extra in Portwood Stockport and the oil was £16/l. Took a litre bottle, self scanned it and bingo, £6.66. I bought five! :evilgrin:

My advice is to get the oil scanned as the £16 ticket price may be incorrect due to the price not being manually updated.

Thought i would go and see what the fuss was about last night, so i went t tesco's and scanned a litre. And it came up as £6.66  :jumpmove:

So i went back this morning to stock up for winter, and bought another 4 litres. Scanned it, and they  came through at £3.33

I went to my local Tesco, this is what I found
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi531.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd355%2Fnr123_01%2FIMG_0410.jpg&hash=6d6da02fcdb32f7d6ffb2d8d05090350232bce7b)
A 'Sorry not available' sticker was covering it but I asked the guy and he said they were getting some more tonight. So the offer is not a mess up, it's meant to be on. I think Castrol are doing it very cheap, it explains why national tyre and auto centre do oil changes using Edge 5w30 for £30!

I'll be buying a few bottles tomorow. :happy2:
