Quantum Oil ermm? need advice

[DaveA3]

Hi All,

When i went to R-tech i was told i had cheap oil in my car and he said i should use quantum oil or another premium oil.

i just phoned TPS and they said it was £14.91 inc VAT that cant be true surely? i thought it would be like £40+

that was for 5 litres aswell!

it is 5w40 i need aint it?

oil filter was £5.49 which is about right but still shocked about the oil!

 

[Welly]

Don't knock it, buy it!!

5w40 not as expensive as 5w30.

£14.91 inc VAT for 5 litres... Sounds about right for Carlube not Quantum!!

 

[DaveA3]

not kncking it just thought it would be way more expensive. bizarre ok cool ill just buy it then i guess

cheers

I bought Quantum for trade price. Was just over a tenner when I serviced mine the other week. When speaking to the chap at TPS and he said its just rebranded Castrol so it definately is top quality. Go for it bud.

I bought some 5l quantum platium 5w40 fully syn and a genuine oil filter from TPS few weeks back for £21 something.

The guy also said its just rebranded Castrol and used by Vag dealers so its quality stuff.

Yea its true, quantum is made by castrol for the vag group & is a good quality oil that happens to be cheap, happy days!

how did r tech know you had cheap oil in your car ?

 

[DenCar]

Yep, how did they know?

By the way Castrol Edge 5W 30 from National Tyres, oil change and filter for £31.50 if you book on line. ( A3 1.8 T )

im not sure how they knew :/ he just said i need to get some better oil in there as he reckons i had cheap oil. i phoned my garage n he asked the same thing. he laughed and said how would they know unless they had a laboratory on-site lol.

he said he gave me 5w40 revolution branded oil.

ill get the quantum to play it safe as its a cheap swap anyhow

den - thats a good price but i have a free labour voucher at another garage n i just pay for parts so ill use that until it runs out

cheers all

 

[mattyboy199]

i wouldnt bother changing anything

how is Valvoline and carlube compared to Quantum, are they all the same? Eurocarparts sell them both
