    Prius is 5W30.


  • Registered Users Posts: 54 ✭✭custom900


    Thank you very, very, very much. Just reserved enough oil to service my car every year for the next 4 years! Btw, if anyone has an axa card you get a further 10% off the price.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,139 ✭✭✭Red Crow


    What's the difference in Opel/Saab 5w30 and the vw/Audi 5w30? I assume there is no difference bar the price?


  • Registered Users Posts: 114 ✭✭corazon


    The Audi 5w30 doesn't seem to be on sale. If the oil is fully synthetic it should be the same oil I think. I reserved eight litres but it says it is for mercedes. I guess I will check in the store with the staff.

    What oil do I need for a 2004 mark 1 focus.
    The link in the OP for Ford says it's suitable for 2006 onwards but makes no mention of earlier models?


  • Registered Users Posts: 77 ✭✭icrusader


    What a bargain! Thanks OP!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭Titzon Toast


    Just ordered 2 lots of 5w 30.
    Thanks for sharing OP.

    Thanks OP.

    4 bottles ordered. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 750 ✭✭✭Farmer


    Some of the ratchet spanners now coming in at less than €3 also - might be handy if you're missing one, esp. a common size like this.

    http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_160002_langId_-1_categoryId_212616

    Watch out for the difference between the straight head and flex head ones

    EDIT: Sorry, Forget it, when you go to "Click and Collect" they're hardly available anywhere


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    If only they sold in 5ltr bottles!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 379 ✭✭smilgy


    I reserved a few bottles the other day and just out of curiosity checked if they have more stock - they don't. Does it still mean that the ones I reserved they still have for me ?

    Yup.

    Picked up my oil in Swords this afternoon. The guy on the parts desk said they had gotten a huge amount delivered due to online orders. He said one order was for 40 bottles. Wasn't able to get another 10% off with my Axa card though.

    Picked up my 4 bottles this evening, €32.40 with axa discount. Whoever sold it to you was wrong. Halfords have always honoured the axa card, even on their sale prices. (Btw, Coolock still have a huge supply inside the door)

    Is the car not still under warranty? I would be more concerned with staying within the dealer network if it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,668 ✭✭✭eringobragh


    picked up 2 bottles myself plus 10% off with the Bicycle group scheme voucher - already have 2 mobil1 bottles that were half price..so next 4 services sorted

    Same thing as Comma Oils provide the oil and halfords just rebrand it.

    I wouldn't be changing my own oil if the car is still under warranty is what I meant. It's an easy out for the manufacturer if there is a claim.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,310 ✭✭✭Pkiernan


    Is this still available in Airside Halfords?
    Do you need to order online and pickup at the shop?

    Picked up 8ltrs in Tralee today, hadnt seen this thread so thought €10 for 4ltr was a bargain. Darn I've been overcharged.

    Ok.
    However, there's no problem with changing your own oil provided you use the correct spec, whatever the brand.
    Using the correct oil will ensure the car is covered by the manufacturers warranty. If any engine damage is caused by using the incorrect oil some clever guys in white coats will be able to determine this quite easily, thus voiding any warranty.

    Make no mistake if you have a serious problem under warranty the manufacturer will be looking very closely at your service history. As for out of warranty goodwill forget it. By all means change your own oil outside of warranty but doing so under warranty is a false economy and poor advice IMO.

    You don't get the euro off for reserving online anymore, or at least I didn't this morning.

    Maybe thats why they used to be an Opel dealer ;)

    seriously though, i doubt it would make a whole lot of difference in ireland (afaik the 10w is rated for -20) but if it was me i'd go with the majority consensus. 5w30/40.
