Supercheap was $22.50 for the same Ryco filter.

I am a Repco employee. Take proof of price to any Repco store and they should match or beat it. Avoid trying that on Sundays tho because the manager is rarely around to approve it and it's just a fight trying to explain it.

well i used to buy the edge direct from castrol(can't do without an account) and you shouldn't be paying anymore than about 65 for a 5 litre bottle. it's an expensive oil where ever you go and the only way around it is to use a different brand such as nulon etc.

$65??!
Mate I don't think too many places will sell it for that over the counter. Maybe when its on special but not everyday. I rekon $70 would probably be a good everyday price... |

I checked at work (Repco) today and 0W-40 Castrol Edge is $69.99. We are having a 20% off sale on Saturday and Sunday on top of that.

My son went to the Yamba Repco today and bought 2 x 5L bottles of the Castrol Edge Sport 0 -40w for only $112, pretty good at $56 each. The best price I have seen anywhere .

Those of you who go through a bit of oil may wish to consider taking up the 20% off offer ending tomorrow... usually the discount is 0 for everybody, including staff and trade. |
