Oil Price?

[bigbadjoe]

Is it me, or has the price of oil come down?

I looked to buy oil middle of last year and I was quoted £50+ for 6L of 10/40 Part syn.

I bought some last month, 5L for £16. I have looked on some auction sites and you can buy a case of 4x5L 10/40 part syn for £50.

Has the price come down?

Semi synthetics are getting cheaper it appears. Possibly because of the ever increasing demand for long life extended drain full synthetics. In turn I suspect this is because of the widespread adoption of diesel particle filtration which requires specialist synthetic oils in order to not poison the DPFs.

So the engine oil companies are getting their money elsewhere.

I was thinking more along the lines of tax reduction on it.
