Maintenance & Repair: Oil in bulk

Most motorfactors do 20l drums. But the savings are not huge.
For example, 5l Total semi-synth = £10, 20l same = £38. You save
two pounds.

It's when you buy the *big* drums that you start saving some money.

If you want to save money try your local Farm suppliers. They usually
supply various brands of oil for use in farm vehicles such as tractors
and pick ups.

My local costco also have some Chevron barrels in stock - I'd guess 25
litres.

Dont know how cheap you want but Costco generally do a good deal eg.
Chevron fully synthetic about 12 quid for 5 litres

I contacted oil suppliers a year or so ago and couldnt seem to find any good
discount......

If you insist on the heavily advertised brands, you'll pay for this. Try
using an oil with the correct or better spec that isn't a household name.

Used to use Valvoline a few years ago. My Delta turbo engine even survived
very low oil level due to bust hose

Asda/Walmart do Texaco Havoline for not too much £7 per gallon IIRC.
County stores do Q8 for about the same price.
