How is it even possible to sell so cheap when the freight cost to SG would probably be more expensive than the oil. Anyway, I will go check out which oil is having promotion then decide. All the big brand spend a lot on advertising. Carlube are mainly direct import and sell. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working in freight industry. Doubt they can cover the cost of freight from UK to Singapore if sold at this kind of prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justahumanbeing Neutral Newbie November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 I missed out on the Shell promotion at Giant. Schnell also not cheap now. End up I bought Meta to try out. Will be bringing to my regular workshop for servicing. I did a search online and saw Meta also selling 5W30 and 5W50 but not in Giant. May I ask 5W30 is mainly used for new cars? Or hybrid cars?

They are losing money but these companies only care that your car are well maintained. So they don't mind losing money to make your car happy.

I thought all along is $20+, did not know original price is $37. I saw their reviews in Carousell very good. I kiasu and kiasi also ask the Giant auntie and she said this oil sell the best in Giant. Anyway I used and cannot tell a difference between Shell or Meta. Maybe is because I am not fussy. As long as car performs and never spoil my engine I am ok to support most pocket friendly brands. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in shipping and you know the cost of shipping is already more than the oil. Sell so cheap how to make a profit? Just use and enjoy lah. And hope they can still keep this price as long as possible. Maybe next time cannot maintain this price and the price will go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
