Default ACEA C1 Motor Oil in UK

Anyone know the cheapest place to get 5l?
The cheapest I've found is 5l for £33 at a dealer.

There must be better deals out there...

Carlube do a C1 grade, which I use. It's readily available from Eurocarparts. They have branches nationwide.

NickC - Thanks for the quick reply.

That's more than £33 for 5 lites though.
I thought I saw Comma Ecolife C1 for a cheap price too from somewhere but I can't find it now.
Another site had some Gulf C1 on special offer, but when I heard about it...it was all gone.

Can anyone beat £33 for 5 litres?

I reckon thats a pretty good price. I get mine from opie oils, and occasionally they do good deals, but there is a postage charge.
Halfords advertise one for 27.99 when I put in my car reg, but it isn't C1 grade looking at the specs. I told them of this about 6 months ago.
Oh and apparently you need to reset the DPF each time you change the oil.

Yeah Opie were the one's that had the Gulf for a good price. Now their cheapest (Miller's XF Longlife C1) is £37.88 +del.

I never thought I would see the day when a Mazda dealer was the cheapest place to source a product generally available out on the open market. I'm going to buy a lottery ticket for Wed now

I'll see what I can get the Carlube one for trade price. You can probably do a bit of haggling with ECP.

Just realised that I could have also used Mobil1-ESP. It's JASO DL-1 compliant. Got to wait until Asda or Tesco's have a deal on again. It was £4.25/l a few months ago.
