Loads of it in my local Lidl

Would you really put Lidl oil in your car? Save a few bob in the short term but invite possible bigger problems down the line. I hate buying the good stuff but would rather protect my car

I used Lidl 10w40 oil in my car for a number of years. Lidl are not refining oil, they are simply paying for engine oil from a manufacturer. If the oil in Lidl meets the requirements for your engine (weight, ash, dpf etc.) I'd have no issues using it

Do you know anything about international standards or do you think Lidl fill the nicely labelled containers out the back from the cooking oil tank?
What an insidious and ignorant post implying cheaper oil is not only inferior but may damage your car. You're either a sucker or a shill.
If you're just a sucker, once you use the right grade and spec, it's far more important to change the oil on time than it is to flap about the brand.
Maybe your next contribution will be " Would you put Lidl milk in your body...etc. etc..."

As much as I love Lidl there are a number of their products that I would not use because I do not think the quality is as high as buying it from somewhere else.

I stand by my comment about the quality of the lidl oil, but look sure if you want to go down that road just to save a few quid go right ahead. No need to get all pissy about it, I have an opinion and that is my entitlment. :mad:

What is the comment based on though? Are there reports of engine failure being attributed to Lidl oil?

But you're claiming Lidl are deliberately mislabeling motor oil and dishonestly telling customers that they conform to internationally recognized standards?

It's not going to change my life either. I think I've been quite civil in my comments so far. What issues does your mechanic have with Lidl oil?

If the oil doesn't conform to the international standards laid out, are we supposing that there is a company out the refining motor oil that doesn't meet standards in order to sell it to Lidl? Or where do you think the oil they sell is coming from?

gussieg · 30-09-2020 2:40pm

which oil is there , the 1 litre bottles or the 4 or 5 litre ones? and which is your local lidl?

The folk who buy the expensive oil as opposed to simply buying the best-priced oil that meets the required specification of their vehicle's engine are no doubt the same folk who buy Kerrygold butter despite the fact it's nothing more than a wrapper used by various creameries that also wrap the same butter in supermarket wrappers.

Normally I would say if it's alright to use my phone before they scan because I always taught you had to wait but last week I went in and the chap that served me didn't lift his head from his own phone so I had to interrupt him if I could use my lidl app. I was the cnut for interrupting him so safe to say you can use the app at any point really

Used to be true. Kerrygold now produces their own butter. They built a factory in Mitchelstown a couple of years ago.

Same here while I did shop. Sods law working now lol but got another €1 shop on scratch card this morning, that’s 3 in last 2 weeks I think

Father Frisky · 01-10-2020 12:17pm

They changed the packaging but noticed the ice cream went up from 1.69 last week so not as much of a bargain as it could have been. Noticed a few prices creeping up lately

I stand corrected. Still the same bog-standard butter though.

Supermarket to supermarket, the butter might be to a similar standard; but you know about it when you taste ****ty butter, imo. It's out there.

Wife swears there is a difference between Kerrygold and Lidl own brand, fwiw. I dont eat much butter so dont really know/care until i get a mouthful of bad butter.

As with milk, taste will vary during the course of the year depending on what the cows have been feeding on. The wrapper on the butter makes no difference IMO.

True no argument there, but it looks like the old price em up to discount em trick. The Aldi one hasn't changed price either. Couple of new varieties in the range so hopefully they are nice.

Haven't had a scratch card since the 29c biscuits weeks ago. :mad:

Any idea why (why no scratch card, not why I shop there regularly).

that would come handy for people with coffee machines ( see delonghi thread ) or those who enjoy freshly grinded coffee.

I've looked for the cheapest ( mostly arabica ) coffee beans and always stock up the Lidl ones . Not picky on the flavours/brands and other marketing gimmicks , just look for arabica in order to take the daily wake up dose...

It's a decent coffee, wouldn't be as strong as the dark roast or espresso ones they have.
They have a lot of it left over here, I was hoping for a 30% off sticker, this is 20 cent better. :P

They're beans so you'd need to grind them.

Im going through a bag of this at the moment, using it in an Aeropress. Its not bad, you wouldnt be writing home about it or anything but perfectly fine too and at 3.99 on the app I'll be picking up more.

Anyone know what the Lidl lasagne is like? Is it one of those lasagnes that turns out like a sloppy mess on the plate due to a lack of meat or does it have a bit of structure?

Yeah have to agree. The coffee was drinkable and no visitors complained which was a bonus.
I'm using it in a delonghi b2c
