There charging you for single 1L which that price is about the same as my dealer. They do sell the 4L tubs which works out alot cheaper. I buy 2x 4L then there's some left for the next change.

That's what they charge you for, they buy in 50 gallon drums . If I asked for 4L tubs they would have to order it in, which is why I buy cheaper with the trade card in halfords.

Because of this thread, I asked what oil went into my Volvo at service. It was 0W-30. As I expected.
