smasha Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 So I've become a tightarse lately with my impending 7 week european adventure. With this in mind and the fact that I like to give the bitch the best loads of fluids I can I was wondering where people have found the cheapest Motul (or ELF)(the good shiz) and Redline oils (preferably in the same shop, as I'm also lazy). Anyways, please share Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/167681-found-cheap-oil/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontfeelcold Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Just a thought, can much be saved if you do a massive group buy on oil? The only problem I can see is not everyone uses the same oil. Or maybe buy a massive drum of oil and sell it off to fellow sauers. I guess its not an option if your tightarsing at the moment. Do this. Drain the oil, filter it half a dozen times, put it back in. just kidding. sorry I can't say anything useful.

Beer Baron Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 every now and then autobarn have a sale (like 20% off all oil) and they stock motul chrono 300V, so that is the time and place to get it.

smasha Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Yea.. it's never when my car needs fresh blood though...

d0p3y Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Yea.. it's never when my car needs fresh blood though... I'll need to stock up when I stumble upon it @ d00dz yep bingo when you see a good sale such as 20% off just stock up on the essentials. you know you're going to need to use it eventually, so it's not exactly going to go to waste. I guess it just comes down to the cash flow available at the time.

Beer Baron Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 actually if someone wanted to share I could be persuaded to buy a 60litre Motul Chrono 300V. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/167681-found-cheap-oil/#findComment-3104016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benm Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Or maybe buy a massive drum of oil and sell it off to fellow sauers. By the time you factor in the inconvenience of someone buying it and everyone having to drive there to collect their oil you would be cheaper off just buying the normal retail price at your local auto store. By a 20L drum if you can find them, that's about the cheapest way of doing it.

MANWHORE Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) Motul 8100 5w40 ->$52 ELF Excellium fully synth ->$45 No i'm not a trader advertising lol. You'll be suprised the prices you can get if you let your local autobarn owner know your intention. I.e. I'm interested in buying oil. Next time you put your order in, i'm willing to buy a box (3bottles)if you're willing to give me a good price Edit: forgot to say - that's for 5L not 1 Edited May 7, 2007 by MANWHORE Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/167681-found-cheap-oil/#findComment-3104717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
