Stock Clearance!

Hi all

Just a quick heads up from Opie Oils here…

With Castrol updating the label design across their range of “Edge” products, we have been left with some old labelled Castrol Edge 5w-40 FST fully synthetic oil in 1 litre bottles that is in need of a home – this label change has been brought in so recently, that some retailers are still selling what we class as “old label” as current stock. However at Opies, we like to keep our stock up to date and current, so we will be selling our remaining stock of this fantastic product at the super low price of £9.77 – Just use the discount code “OPIEFORUM” at checkout to get this special offer!

It’s also good to know that you’ve got a top of the range, fully synthetic 5w-40 in there that adapts to your engines every need, even under the most severe pressures – another bonus of using Castrol Edge.

Those of you familiar with this product will already know its value, for those of you that are not, below is a bit of information regarding its merits –

It is formulated to be compatible with modern exhaust after treatment devices and 3 way catalysts and is approved by a wide range of vehicle manufaturers.
