Help...Oil

[Scott]

This has probably been asked before but what's the difference between the TWS oil and the non TWS? I'm needing to order oil tonight as I have a car booked in for an oil change this weekend. Is the non TWS safe to use in the CSL?

FST is the same as TWS Scott.Dont think you can get TWS anymore,only from dealers

[Bounce]

Just looked at the linkys,either will be ok :thumbs:It's cheaper from ECP

[Scott]

Thanks for the reply.

The car is booked in with a main dealer so will they put the non TWS stuff in and will it comply if I have any warranty issues?

Yeah I seen Euro Parts is cheaper by £2 for a 4l bottle but with 10% forum discount on Opie it brings it down to £40 a bottle :thumbs:

Also, I'm actually needing 20l+ as I'm getting 3 cars done so does anybody know where the cheapest place to buy bulk is?

Put in the code spring30 and it's £29 for 4L from ECP :thumbs:

Brilliant, best price by far.

Order in so I'm all sorted.

Cheers for your help.

I can vouch for ECP also,free delivery too and that's to Northern Ireland, where free delivery is usually unheard of.

I saved over £70 buying Oil for the CSL, and oil and filters for the Z3.

Also, I hate to point out the obvious but TWS is just an abbreviation for 10W-60, it's all the same stuff. Castrol Edge it's more commonly known as now.

Thanks Barry, I discovered this last night while doing a bit of research. I'm still not sure why the bottle branded TWS is more expensive than the the standard Castrol Edge bottle though?
