Mobil1 full synth

Recently had a first service, they used fully synth (they said) noticed that a 5 ltr pack of mobil 1 full synth in asda today was £32, is that a good price ?

Yes a decent price - best I can get is £23 but that's for 4L so need to buy 2 which is fine as have some for top up or to add to another one for the next service etc

Sorry for thread jack

(Did notice they are now selling the diesel Mobil1 in 5L packs so perhaps this will change with the petrol one as well)?

yeah I spotted that a few weeks back , hopefully once their stocks of the 4ltr have dwindled they will change to a 5 ltr , price should still be under £30 going by their price per litre
