    Transfer Case Oil From The UK

    Has anyone had success importing oil from the UK.

    I thought it might be a problem so I asked before I ordered.

    I got the following reply from Island 4x4.

    “No – we don’t send any oils via freight outside of the EU, as customs officers act as though you’re trying to send depleted Uranium warheads via FedEx….”

    I know some carriers won’t ship air springs and some will so I thought there may be one that will ship oil.

    Thanks
    Sean

    Why bother? Is it that much cheaper after freight? Just go to a dealer surely?

    At $33 a litre instead of $85 and if you include other items in the order as well you come out a fair way in front. I’m looking at a total order of about $800 with most of the other items quite small and light. When you divide the freight across all the items it’s about a 20% increase which brings the oil to $42 a litre.

    If it was just the oil, you would be in front but most probably not worth the trouble.

    Genuine oil? Or LR equivalent.

    You can get a correct oil here in AU for similar pricing.

    Dealer charged me $88 odd per litre here so I’d love to know who’s selling genuine cheaper as I need to do mine. Names, link please?

    You only need 1.5l for a transfer case. Is the saving really worth all of the hassle?
