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

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.

Yea.. it's never when my car needs fresh blood though...

I'll need to stock up when I stumble upon it

:teehee: @ 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.

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.

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 :P

Edit: forgot to say - that's for 5L not 1

I order in 20L drums of Motul - 5L per oil change (oil cooler) every 5,000km..... I travel around 1000km per week ... so every 5 weeks I am changing the damn oil!

Can't remember how much.. dad orders it in through TAFE for me.. il find out how much - think its around $100 with the trade/TAFE discount

I use the 5W40 Motul 8100

if it's 300V Chrono, I'm in..

is it $100 for the 4L can? Don't think they come in 5L, but I could be wrong, and if they do, then score!!

I can check out prices on that too if you like??? Il send dad an email and hopefully get some prices for you tomoz

Whenever I order .. I get 20L for me & 20L for dad . I leave the drum @ TAFE and just get dad to refill my 5L bottle evertime I do a change....

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
