Default Oil for Christmas meet.

Not to pollute Xmas meet thread if anybody wants me to bring some discounted Quantum Longlife III 5W30 oil to the meet, please, post here.

Last time I bought price was £26 for 5l can but I was able to negotiate £22.50 as I was buying 8 cans. The price now is £27 for single can but I should be able to get better price for multiple purchases depending on quantity. RRP for them is £49.99 as far as I know.

He also sells Platinum 5W40 and Synta if you want cheaper, not sure of prices as I only use Longlife III and still change every year.

So far I need 2 cans for friends- 1 each as theirs are A4 and A6 1.9 TDI's and only need around 4.5l each. And 2 cans for Neil(Architex_mA8tey).

Cool, not sure what oil I need in my car. Sure Ben said it uses diesel oil.
Longlife III is for both diesels and petrols. In fact most of oils these days are for both. In the past diesel oils had more sulphur neutralising agents added but now with low sulphur diesel there is no need. That being said I would expect higher viscosity oil in RS6. I am more relaxed driver now so I am using 5W30 oil, before that I were using Castrol Edge 10W60 driving hard and that is what I would expect in RS6, maybe a bit thinner 5W50 since it is turbocharged.

I'm not sure I can make the Xmas meet - is anyone travelling back to the South East (Surrey/Sussex borders) that might be able to bring me some back? Post if so and I'll be in touch......

I have been on the phone with seller now. He says the the best he can do is £25 a can if I buy over 5 which I will. So the price now is £25 and if I do negotiate lower price I will keep the difference. 1l can is £5 which is rather low. He can also get filters or other parts but need reg number for that. Deadline for ordering is early morning (6am) of 27th December because I work night shifts and seller needs info by 8-9am but I will be snorting by then.

I'll have some if someone can confirm exactly what oil my car needs, I'll ask my sister if she wants me to service her Golf too.
