Where does everyone buy their oil ?

[Toprivetgun]

Been looking for 10w-30 fully synthetic oil only to find distributors are few and far between. I was curious if anyone has found a good place to purchase oil online?

Used these guys in the past. Good prices and quick delivery. Stock some nice alternative brands (eg. Silkolene, Red Line )

Got 20L of Mobil 1 off ebay still sealed for £80 a few months back

They're mainly known for motorbike oils but their Pro-S Racing oil is good stuff.
Ester based oil with very high film strength.

Although there has been many a debate as to what oils are best. (Especially running early dual VANOS BMW engines from experience)

How about this, specific for LSx lumps.

Halfrauds with a trade card.

Ive got 10w-30 oil in my LS2 lump. I went to halfrauds and they said it wasn't something they stocked. First port of call because ive got a trade card. Is 10w-30 what everyone else uses? Ta

Costco were selling Mobil 1 at bargain prices until recently.

I am a big fan of the Royal Purple Oil that Monkfish are flogging off. I got some 10-30w and am quiet impressed with it. Mobil 1 is good as well..

If you are a member of Autobahnstormers (I think at least one other on this forum is)it will enable discount with their 'Vauxhall Trade Card'. Fully synthetix 5/40W was ~£12 for 5L (buy 3 get 4th free).

Raggy - you can pick up royal purple at a place in Lemington (the guys who do the custom exhausts). AAS I think it's called. Cheap.

On a related subject........what should the oil pressure gauge be reading on a CV8? Mine reads 3 bar when warmed up, is that about normal?

[hsv_sc]

seem to remember someone saying the uk/us oil grades are slightly different?

so US 10/30 works out to UK 10/40?
