Default Worth it?

I'm going to be servicing my car next month and i am wondering if you think the Halfords deal is worth it:

If i buy this engine oil for £40:

I can get this driver set (with lifetime warranty) for free:

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165572

The only issue is I need a minimum of 4.5l of oil for my car meaning I'd need to buy some more on top. Does anyone use this oil or driver set? And if so do you think it would be worth it? Bearing in mind i'd be buying 5l of millers oil for my car for £35 if i didn't go for this deal.

Check your handbook for oil spec that's PD oil for VW/Audi and the likes with unit injectors and I think yours will take 10/40 semi synthetic.

I've just checked the handbook and it says that i can use either 5w40 or 10w40, but i've just remembered that i have 4l of Castrol Magnatec 10W40 in the garage, so thats my decision made . I just need to buy a filter set for £20 and another litre of oil and I should be sorted. Cheers for the help Paul.
