no longer on offer ironically.

plus if you know Opie Oils sometimes definitely works cheaper and going by the new price of Halfords, you can buy from Opie Oils Castrol Edge 0W-30 for less.

Where does three times come from.

What is with the attitude you tried to argue that 0w-30 is not suitable and when presented the facts decided to be all sarcastic?

no one like i said was being a wise guy at all, most people know that you can use 5w-30 OR 0w-30 with no ill effect.

Two steps back......deep breath........

Okay.

Doveaboy - Thank you for pointing out the offer (sincerely) but you did imply in one of your posts that what was suggested was incorrect. The other members were only trying to be helpful by suggesting there were other options available that may not be commonly known to all and were not critiscing the offer you had kindly pointed out.

What's that saying again..... "don't look a gift horse in the mouth?" (probably the wrong saying - hey ho.)

Please in future relay all great offers (in your opinion) to all. If there are any further comments regarding the offer, take it with a pinch of salt and ask the right question.


Ninja - Thanks for informing us all that there are other options available. You are forever helpful to all.

From your lovably judge and jury - Jaygee.

I'll be here all week.

Jaygee for President!
My original 'wit' was not aimed at the ever-helpful Ninja in the first place but the thread all spun horribly out of control. Still, who says Volvo drivers are calm and boring?
