Title: Cheap synthetic oil
Post by: tallpaul on January 22, 2018, 21:02:24

Just a heads-up but Tesco petrol stations are selling off Castrol power1 racing synthetic motorbike oil for £3.12 a litre. Usually it is nearer to £13. May be useful for the track day boys?

Thanks for the link Tall, I've just changed mine.

It did set me thinking http://www.msvtrackdays.com/bike/calendar/2018/march/23-n-cp/

Not reduced in two of my local superstores, still at £12.47 per litre so I don't think this is national? Bit of a goose chase!

Seems you got lucky  :icon_wink:

Ask them to check the price. The man who I got the heads up from saw the deal at a Tesco fuel station in the Midlands so went to his local Tesco petrol station back home and the same deal was on there too. I went to two stations near me and bought a total of 8 litres. One of the garages showed it at full price but when I asked them to check it, it came up at £3.12. Worth the ask as I can't see why it should some garages and not others.

If they are on shelf at full price ask them to check. One of the places I went to still had them on at full price but when I asked them to check it the price they scanned at was the offer.
