Hi,
sorry for another oil thread, but i was searching for this and no latest info was found.


A question for all European and scandinavian guy`s - where`s the cheapest place to get TWS 10W-60 for our beasts? In LV i can get it for ~ 15 euros/l. Not cheap!! Maybe some can help??

Thanks in advance!!

Karl

Not sure if Opie Oils can post abroad, but they have some keen pricing in the UK and good service...

Edit - £22.46 delivery (to Latvia specifically), meaning...£32.99 exc VAT, £39.58 inc VAT, for 4 litres. £55.45 (45.06 latvian lats) if you don't need to pay VAT, or £62.04 (50.41 latvian lats) if you do, delivered.

Lol, no idea how this might compare, and this is for Edge 10W60, the same stuff with a different label.

Can you tell I'm bored at work?

Thanks guy`s! Feeblebob - that is a quite a research you did i appreciate it!! But the final $ is approximately the same as here.

Nerio - seems like a deal on German ebay, THANKS! Never used ebay though... need to learn it. I assume it is safe to buy oil there, right? realy want a peace in my mind i`m getting original stuff.


Thanks,

Karl

TWS (15-18€/L) is more expensive than Edge (10-13€/L), but they are the same. I order my oil from Opie Oil, because they have Castrol Edge in 4L bottle (and m5board.com members have a discount ). Or else, I buy 1L for 10,5€ in France

No problem, Neighbour, it turned into a little project! I now know the currency of Latvia too

yes its safe too buy on ebay,iff you just look at the sales rating off the vendors + how many % his sales average is

iff its a company name and no private seller and it has tons off bussines and good reviews your good to order.
iff it has bad reviews and bad % average, just stay away from it..

i'm getting my oil 6years now from the same seller/on ebay..never had a problem..2 days after payment its here on my doorstep, nicely boxed up for 12-15 euro's delivered..

also look how to pay before ordering, some want credit card, paypal or just a simple bankwire ..(or possibility off all choices combined)

Be aware of sales ratings, always look for the comments I just got scammed on Ebay by a powerseller (+20000) AND a company (in February). They got ~90000€ before Ebay decided to close their account.

Hopefully, Paypal gave my money back (love Paypal lovelove, use it guys !!!), but if I had looked at the comments before buying, I wouldn't have bought anything from the company.

So stick with companies recommended by the board

 

[nerio02]

iff the one you bought from had bad comments his sales % would be down
always buy at 100% sellers..thats what i do and never had problems..then again i buy my oil from the same seller for 6 years now.

but good advice though.. always be on your guard!

He was a powerseller and on ebay since 2004 He began to scam people in December 2010. But that is an other story

Back on topic : Opie Oils !!

 

[feeblebob]

Never thought I'd say this on here but I think I've fairly comprehensively answered the Opie Oils situation for the OP!

I used to work for Castrol so hope this helps clarify ;-)

The TWS Motorsport and the RS 10W-60 are not the same product.

TWS is tested and approved by BMW to meet the specific requirements for the M series engines - it has a different formulation ( which includes additional synthetic esters ) to the Formula RS 10W-60 to meet the specific BMW requirements and the only spec the TWS meets is BMW.

The EDGE 10W-60 is the retail alternative for the TWS Motorsport, which is a workshop only product supplied to BMW dealers - the EDGE Sport 10W-60 is the alternative to the Formula RS 10W-60 and these do not meet the BMW specifications.

So for the M series asking for the 10W-60 grade, I would recommend either the TWS Motorsport from BMW outlets or the EDGE 10W-60 ( which also only carries the BMW approval ) from retail outlets

Hope that helps

Kind regards
