if homebase are still doing the 1litre for a fiver and theyre out of stock at your nearest store go to halfords and they will price match

i even got some Edge 'Sport' for the same price

Requires 7.5 litres. I would take 10 to be sure.

And afterwards, ask for the empty containers.

Any BMW LL-04 spec oil will, make sure it's specifically for denzils though.

actually it does not matter if its diesel oil or not. Just has to be correct spec. IE LL04.
