I paid £62.82 for 15 litres of Shell Helix HX7 (semi synthetic) 10w40 including next day delivery. I ordered late on sunday, order was processed yesterday and it was delivered before midday today. Yes I may have got it a couple of pounds cheaper from the local motor factors, but as I work 9-5 it's always awkward getting there when they're open. I got it on ebay through the seller carpartssaver if anyone is interested. And you don't have to buy in bulk, I just bought 3 5 litre cans at £20.94 each.

Ummm, I beg to differ - I never hear your guys pronounce it as "litre" - I hear it as "liter" all the time - so are you sure you guys got it right? =*^)

That is a good price! Less then £7 more than I paid would have bought another 5 litres! I may well look at this next time. Do you use a barrel pump with this? Considering both cars will take the same oil this is probably a better way for me to do it in the future.
