Hi chaps, I want to buy a gallon of Castrol Classic XL 20w50. I see that it is available at around £18 gallon but p&p adds another £10.

Do you know if this is generally available over the counter anywhere?

Cheers Rich...

That is one of the good things about France, 20/50 is obtainable even from supermarkets here alongside serviceables for 2cv and old renaults etc

Great, I'll be in France in July but until then anyone else know if it can be bought as opposed to ordered?

I can't say I've noticed it anywhere on sale around here, I had a look at the Moss website to see if they stock it, but they only have Millers and Penrite. Rimmer Bros have it, not sure what the postage would be though

Hi
If you go to http://www.castrol.com/castrol/castrolhomepage.do?categoryId=3205&source=castrolglobalcountryselector
and click on "where to buy" down the left hand side.
I typed in Reading and it came up with 12 dealers, the furthest appeared to be Camberley.
Where did you get the £20 delivery?
If you go further into the castrol site, to
http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9014114&contentId=7027142
There is a downloadble PDF order form and it says at the bottom

I bought a gallon of Castrol 50w last year at an autojumble. I often see it for sale in the stalls

Why does it have to be Castrol? Or 20/50 for that matter?

I feel a bit confused....

[dalbuie]

Halfords do their own make 20/50 classic oil - although I'm pretty sure I saw Castrol classic on their shelves as well.

Hi

I have moved onto straight 30, and a loveley smelling one at that, long let Ernie burn oil! hmmm

I wouldn't mind my chips cooked in this oil!

Cheers

Thanks for all the help, looks like buying 2 x cans from Castrol with free delivery is the way to go.

Not sure where £20 delivery came from, I said £10...

The "Where to buy" facility isn't product specific, it just lists every outlet for Castrol, I assure you Halfords and the Murco filling station don't sell Classic 20W/50

CHeers Rich...

This is online bullying, I was warned by my parents about this, when I was younger!

[fredbear]

Hehe, perfect !!

Always getting into trouble, one disaster after another, and I can’t begin to count the numbers of times I’ve heard that shout, “Mum, Mummy, MUMMY !!” dreading what I’d find when I got there!!

Sorry Dave, not really bullying - just a little laugh.

Hi

I rung you to stop them teasing me, not to laugh too!

The scary bit is last tail end I found a wasp nest in the garage, so donned my bee suit, and gloves, (remembering I am highly alergic to the venom) so wrapped up well. Got a metal sand fire bucket poured a little petrol in the bottom, about an inch, and pulled the wasp nest off the roof in the garage and dropped it in the bucket, putting the lid on after it.

Moved it outside, and left it for a while, petrol vapours killing the wasps, then opened the lid, and lit a match, woosh the vapour caught and there was a fire ball, right were you have put it on the picture, luckily my mum wasn't there at the time! hehe

Cheers

Dave
