Default Mobil 1 cheapest place

I'm hunting for some Mobil 1 0w 40 for the saph, and I was wondering who does the best deal on it. I have seen 20 litre drums for sale £100 delivered but I'm not sure if i wanna splash out that much.

Remember Mobil 1 comes in 4 litre tubs so you`ll have to buy an additional litre

i think it is over 4 litres to fill a saph up. maybe they didnt change your filter? that would account for a fair bit?

Mobil 1 15/50 in your Cossies and RSTs - as said above Matt Lewis is your man.

He sells it at around £20 for 4 litres at most shows (including Ford Fair on Sunday).

He sometimes has 1 litre pots of the stuff too - which means you can get 5 litres off him - enough for an oil change and a bit of topping up.

I've seen far too many Cossies running around with oil on or below the min on their dipsticks - IIRC a full 4x4 Oil change IS more than 4 litres.

You can buy Mobil 1 from Costco wholesale - it's approx £23 for 4 litres though & i think it's 0-40w rated.
