As the Valvoline ad has disappeared from the mag, does that mean we've lost our source of discounted VR1 ? Martin.

Hi Martin,
It has always been cheaper from Eurocarparts.com with their discount (nearly always running and varying between 25-30%). Right now on their website if you put in SERVICE25 in the 'Gift Certificate/Promo Code' box at the checkout page and get 5l for £22.48 delivered.
Happy shopping

Thanks Paul, much appreciated. Martin.Comment

Well done Paul, just ordered and collect tomorrow.Originally posted by Goldstar View Post
I can now take back the Hafords Classic oil I bought (and used too at last oil change) I am sure it is ok but VR1 is clearly a better option and almost the same price.
Cheers,Mike

Gosh, that's very decent of Halfords to take your used oil back - do you get your money back too?Originally posted by mike@thenook View PostThe answer isn't 42, it's 1/137Comment

I was under the impression that the Halfords classic oil was Comma classic oil rebranded.
VR1 and Millers are good oils I admit (I have tried both), although on spec (I.e, the API ratings) I believe the Unipart M300 20W50 oil is meant to be superior. It may be lacking in ZDDP however, and a 'better' rating is not necessarily the correct rating for the oil

No idea about the Comma connection but I'll see how we go with VR1 perticularly as it is a well known brand designed for performance engines (ok, the Stag hardly fits this I know), has very good write ups and while I've not had a problem with Halfords Classic, the price difference while on special offer with EuroP makes using VR1 an easier choice given its credentials

It is for the above reason for why I put Millers in mine. It's not that much more a service, especially if the changes are being done at home .

Has everyone just logged on to the Europarts website to order their oil. It seems t have crashed!!!!!!!!!!!Comment

Opie oils have an offer on at the moment of £27.20 for 5 litres of VR1 if anybody is interested: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-73741-va...ngine-oil.aspx + free delivery on orders over £35.
No use to me as I've just started using Millers Semi Synthetic Classic but I thought it might be of interest if you can't get the Europcarparts offer for any reason.
Cheers
