Title: 75/140 Diff oil £14 per litre
Post by: GCherokee on October 18, 2012, 08:42:43 AM
Hi Guys,

I thought I would post this in the hope that it would help.

I recently changed my diff oil - front and rear.

I went to my Jeep agents and enquired unto the price only to be quoted £37 per litre. :headhack:

As I did not want to buy the bloody oil well I did a bit of hunting around and discovered these guys.

So I ordered and the next day I got my oil. :098: :098:

£84 in comparision to £222 from the Jeep agents.

Maybe someone knows of somewhere cheaper still, and if so, please post the link.

Makes you want to spit.

Regards

Pete
