    Was able to buy for 10e without reservation in limerick yesterday. Plenty people reserving it too judging by the number kept aside at the counter.

    Same in Coolock. Plenty of stock, marked €12, scanned at €10, and I got another 10% discount because I have a card. :)


    Bargain of the week! :cool:

    I had some reserved in Cork, but when I went in there was pallets of the stuff on the floor. I'd say now it's a case of grab whatever is left.

    If its the 1.4 VVTI engine dont use 10/40 on it as thats the reason its going through so much oil, most mechanics will put 10/40 in.

    I had a 01 and loads of them were recalled to get the bottom block replaced, to solve mine I checked the manual and it specifically stated 5/30 semi synth as the oil to use. I done an oil change with 5/30 and it is still going strong years later with no oil been eaten away :)

    You realise 5W/30 is lighter than 10W/40, causing it to be even thirstier? The manual says 5W/30 is for cold climates, i.e., -29° to 10°. 15W/40 is actually what's recommended by Toyota for our climate, -12° to 38°. 10W/40 or even 20W/50 are also acceptable.

    I've used the Halfords 5W/30 semi-synth in an ancient Ford Endura diesel and a slightly newer Citroen HDI (non dpf) since it was on offer about a year ago, I found it just as good as any name brand. I used a cheap no-name 5W/30 oil from my local factors in the Citroen before that, and it came out with the viscosity of veg oil after 8,000 miles :(

    Ordered 2 in Cork now, thanks OP.


    Edit:
    Just come back from the store, they did not have 4L ones but becouse i had reservation they give me 2 x 5L for the price of 2x4L. So 10L of 10W40 oil for 20 euro :)
