The cost of Mobil 1 at Costco?

[ringway]

You got a bargain there. I've been buying my Mobil1 from Costco Birmingham and it's been £19.99 + VAT throughout. It looks like you paid that INCLUSIVE of VAT. I might call Birmingham to see if they have it at the same price.


Because I'm a mucky pup, I also bought two 6-packs of Torx white tissue rolls. Great value @ £11.55 + Vat.

Hi Bobby,

It may be that you are buying the petrol oil which was slightly more expensive in a 5ltr container IIRC?

Still great value though. 5,ltrs of Mobil 1 at Halfords was £46 - now on offer at £38 IIRC.

I buy both - petrol for C32 and diesel for ML270 - and both have been 4 litres and same price.

I need to pay a visit. Potential bargain hunting!!

They have now changed to 5l containers at Costco.

Ahh, didn't realise the ML was a diesel.

It'd be interesting to know if the Costco prices differ from branch to branch.

One thing I did notice yesterday was that the Castrol Oils I used last time were more expensive than Mobil 1. Probably because Costco buy more Mobil 1, or is Castrol now considered to be a superior product?

I don't use Mobil1. I use the fully synth stuff that VW recommend for their Passat engines.
Proven oil, it will still be good after 40,000 miles. it's long life stuff but I can't remember the name just now - and it's a damn sight cheeper than Mobil1.

PS. My car is a C270 CDI.

The oil I use is for PASSAT Diesel engines.

And do you keep it in for 40,000 miles?

If you remember...
Can I ask where the suggestion of a 40000 mile drain interval comes from?

 

[ringway]

4-6,000 miles between changes for me.

I treat regular oil changes as engine insurance.

If you can get the oil at the Costco rates and use the genuine MB filters, it is not expensive.


I buy my genuine MB filters from the dealer at around £8 each.
Is there anywhere else I can buy the real thing at a better price, say 6, filters at a time?

50,000km is the max service interval. Ambitious.....

Vital to use the right oil especially in the PD engines.

Alps is that the same Mobil one oil as mentioned in the post above by npuk?

CostCo currently selling Mobil1 in Gateshead store for £17.50 for a tub - "tub" being either a 4 or a 5 litre container, not sure exactly what the size is.
But whatever it usually comes in, it's £17.50 at CostCo in the North east. pretty cheap.
I use VW Longlife Diesel Engine Oil in my Merc, anyway. (C270 CDI).

Is that a promotional ("voucher") price or "proper" price?
