Wait for Euoroparts flash sales or voucher offers usually 50% off.

If you register with ecp they will spam you with offers usually 40% discounts. If there is not go online and leave the items in your basket. They will offer you a discount after 24 hours

As for the oil most oils now cover all the specs that manf put on. The one to watch is the vag one as it is hp for the diesel injectors

Any synthetic 5w30 would probably do
Any oil is better than no oil if you are stuck

I got a 5w30 that had all the manf specs in it off ebay. £60 is for 25l drum. I'm up the unit tonight so I'll post the details later.

That oil was good for the Ford puma x trail and audi

It's Smith Allen 5w30 20l £45 Inc delivery off ebay

I take it is a diesel if they are recommending C3 spec oil?

You can buy a brand I.e. Shell

But personally I would just buy a oil which is the correct spec for the vehicle. I change my oil regularly, So don't expect it to last 20,000 miles as the manufacturer's suggest

Eurocarparts ebay shop is usually cheaper than the website.

 

[Arnie Macgyver]

Use carparts4less.co.uk. It's Eurocarparts sister site - same stuff much cheaper and there's always a discount code on the home page. In fact it all comes from Euros when shipped.
