The delivery is supposedly free though. Oils are always expensive in smaller containers when compared to the 5L or larger.

Go to a local motor factor and you'll get 5 litres for about €50 to €60.

It's a typo. It's readily available elsewhere for a fraction of that

It's a typo. It's about €50 in Halfords for 5 litres.

that would explain it.

from same place:

However this one says 'Ultra' and the other one over hundred euro said 'Hybrid' - I dont know the difference of the 2 they are both 0W20 viscosity

Surely a mistake? I'd say overpriced for 5L. But then it's Europarts, barely better than Halfords. Top Parts would be a way better motor factors.

I have been buying 0W-20 Liqui Moly from winparts.ie for the wife's 2017 Prius.
I get the 5l container for the Asian market, due to the car being a JDM import.
I also get 5W-30 for my own car.
Add in a few filters (oil, air and cabin) and the prices are great in my opinion.

Hope this helps.
