Where to get 0w-20 oil in Cork?

    I need to get 2-4 cans of 0w-20 engine oil for servicing my cars and was wondering if anyone here could suggest where in Cork they stock it? Alternatively I'm ok with buying it online - used opieoils before but maybe there are Irish businesses my wallet could support on this one?

    I know I could use 5w-30 or 0w-30 alternatively – thanks but no – the 0w-20 is what I’m after.

    Halfords a stock it (according to web site)

    But I'm sure your local motor factors will have it, or at least will be able to order it.

    Just curious, but what engines specify 0w20?

    Opie oils in the U.K. should have it if you can't get it here.

    Probably cheaper to buy online (micks garage) when they have a sale.


    That's what I do... buy enough oil for 3 or four changes when it's on sale.

    ( change oil & filter at half intervals)

    I've not noticed it on the shelf anywhere but I'd try my usual motor factors..
    J Desmond Pearse rd Ballyphehane
    Motorway , Kinsale Road
    Cork Motor Factors off Kinsale Road at roundabout
    In town .. Dicksons Anglesea St. In the past they've offered to order any oil I wanted.

    Can't help on the Cork aspect. Didn't see much 0w-20 on the shelf apart from Halfords. Bought a few bottles from http://www.theoilstore.ie/

    There is a lot more to oil than the viscosity. What car is it for?

    Went down to local Honda dealer. They have 0w-20 oil available no problem at €27+vat for 4l cans. Not only is it Honda branded oil it is probably the cheapest the one can buy in “bricks and mortar” store.
