Unfortunately we had to a month or two ago, but it's not scheduled to go up for a while now.

Still good value compared to others, is this the same stuff as used by Aston Martin?

It's the same used by Aston Racing, the road Astons use Mobil as standard

We usually have the 15w-50 in 20L drums, but I can't see us doing the offer for 20L for £99 as that was due to our supplier being overstocked. Unless they get it wrong again, we won't get it that cheap.

Thanks Tim,

Like Rob, I wish I'd ordered more at the time. And to add insult to injury, I split the one I did order with a mate!

Rob, if there's a deal to be had by ordering larger quantities can you add another 20Ltr drum to the order for me?

Basically, the reason we got the oil cheap was because our suppliers were selling off the 20L drums as they are going to stop supplying Gulf. Until the new supplier takes over 20L drums aren't available, but with the JUBILEE offer code, boxes of 4x5L are £130.00 inc VAT and delivered to most UK addresses, so still not a bad price.

Cheers

Thanks for clearing that up Tim, makes perfect sense - and yes, still a good price!

Can't see an option for 4x5L or is it a case of 2 of 2x5L for a box of 4?

Incidentley, when does the Jubilee offer expire?

Cheers, Neil

Hi Neil

If you register on the site as a member of Scoobynet, it will give you an option for 4x5L. Add that to the basket with the JUBILEE code and it comes out at £130. The code is due to end on Monday.

Cheers
