Cheap CASTROL SLX LL04

[PistonReg]

I've been paying the dealer £15 a litre fot the stuff and my 330 gets through 4 litres between services. Has anyone found a good source of this oil at a discount? I don't want risk trying the alternatives so looking to stick to this spec.

Morrisons have Castrol Edge for £9.99 a litre. This is the retail name for SLX.

This bloody thing always confuses me.
Isn't LL01 for normal cars and LL04 for M3s ?

Morrisons seems to have had an offer on recently. £9.99 per litre and en extra 25% off.
Alternatively just buy 4 litres. Halfords is £39.99.
Finally, CostCo suposedly do the correct grade of Mobil 1 for around £23 for 4 litres.

There are both LL01 and LL04 versions around - I think the 0w30 is LL01 and there is another grade which is LL04?

Wow, no posts for over 2 years and then a new post to resurrect a 2 year old thread

You wouldn't happen to have any interest in this website, would you? Just for the sake of transparency of course - and the possibility of a special PH discount.

I've used the old partsauction and the new bmminiparts websites for hard to find e34 bits in the past.

PS, Toby, I did try to reply to your email but it get's a undeliverable response to the @partsauction.co.uk email that's in your profile & on the email I received.
