£19 5 litres of 504.00 507.00 oil in ASDA
 
Until October the 14th, ASDA are selling 5 litres of 504.00 / 507.00 oil at £19 instead of £24. It is in a purple container.
I know it's not officially VAG approved and the brand sucks, but heyho.
I think it may be BP/Burmah/Castrol as they have also started stocking Castrol oils such as 2T & 4T motorcycle as new lines at the same time, it also has a number you can text the word OIL and reg. no. to - like Castrol, the number is different but the SMS reply is the same abeit the words Castrol recommends are replaced by ASDA recommends..
Hope it helps someone.

Just as an update, had an oil change done today by a local Indy.
Was a small personal victory handing over 10 litres of oil that cost just £26, in V10 world those don't come along too often!!
Also nice knowing I have another 5 lires in the shed for top ups, best £39 I've spent in 2017!

£13 for 5 litres of compliant oil is hard to argue with. I've got in the habit of putting the same Quantum III oil in mine at each service, keep the two empty 5 litre containers from the previous time and just get my local VAG indy to refill them each time using a drum of Quantum III they get in, then I take my containers to the main dealer I have my S8 serviced at. Makes it a bit cheaper... Every little helps!

I purchased long life 3 507 quantum oil from tips for around £14 per 5 litres. I had to buy 20 litres to get that price so have enough left for another service on the a8 or a3

Of course, cost nearly as much as the oil!
