You're correct in everything except the grade, it's a 5W/30 and Halfords
normally sell if for �24.99 per 5L, but they have had 25% off recently on
it.
Therefore, I paid �18.74 for 5L on 14/1/10 which is now safely contained
within the sump of my wife's Fusion TDCi. You may want to see if the offer
remains valid.

Hendy Ford in Winchester wanted about �29+VAT, the Fusion filter was
�11.60+VAT from them.
