National tyres. Get the voucher off their website and print it out. They can't do it without a voucher, has to be sent off to head office or sommat.
And here is the link if you don't already know it .

Cant see any voucher . It quotes an oil + filter change at either £10 or £15 depending on whether you get Duckhams Hypergrade or Semisynthetic QXR oil And you get airmiles or Tesco clubcard points Stuart
The message from Stuart contains these words:
And as usual excludes diesels. Why is this?
You just click on the black and white offers image on the right, gives you a popup. Print that out and take it down to national tyres. The current url for the offers image is:

I also want a cheap deal on an oil and filter change. However I dont have a local National tyres.! is there any more cheap places to go? Also i have a 1.2 16v 02 clio which has a plastic oil filter totally different from the traditional tin type canister filters, now this filter from the renault parts department is a tenner. is this going to be a problem when I take it for an oil change at a garage such as kwik Fit?
Regards Richard
No good if your car is over 2300cc or requires more than 5 litres of oil !!!!!!!!!!!!

Or diesel.
My local ATS have a poster advertsing oil+filter for £15.
I still cant belive that national wanted me to book it in first......
ITS A BLOODY FAST FIT PLACE
I can't buy the oil and filters for my car for the price they ask. If I were doing something that takes more than a gallon of oil in the sump, I'd be looking at £30 for two cans of oil alone. I know they're buying bulk, but there's got to be some profit in it.
Is the semi-synth stuff OK for a Mondeo ?? Stuart
Where does it say that?
Tim
At the bottom right hand corner of the voucher .

AFAIK some Mondeo and Focus engines MUST have 5w30 if they're not to have valve trouble. Your best bet would be to go and make sure they've got the right grade, and don't just stick 10W40 in everything...
Thats what I was intending doing ( phoning them I mean ) as the website doesnt say what specs the oil is . I know Duckhams do make a 5w30 semi-synthetic oil . Stuart
Looked a bargain until I saw the small print... Any car or Van up to
2300cc, Max of 5 litres (of oil I assume).No good for my Range Rover :-(

Drain off old engine oil Fit new oil filter and refill with new Hypergrade (subject to manufacturers specification) or premium QXR oil Any car or van up to 2300CC (excluding Diesels)
If you don't like it then go somewhere else. It's not really worth getting excited about, now, is it?
National didn't want to book me in..... until I told them they just might want to check the filter availability.
Sure enough, they needed 24 hours to get one.
Might be a good thing, booking in.
