FCP Euro Lifetime Replacement Parts even for consumables

Wondering if anyone else has seen this? FCP Euro offers lifetime replacement on everything they sell.

This means you only buy things like brake fluid, pad, rotors, oil, once. When the consumable is consumed, order new and send back the old for a refund.

No idea. In their FAQ they say they consider it "the cost of doing business to keep customers coming back"

So maybe it's a business expense and a tax write-off for them? Doubt it, but that'd be a cool loophole if it was.

I was looking for Castrol SRF and came into a guy on a Porsche forum saying that he uses the guarantee for brake fluid and oil, that's how I came across this. But they don't have the brake fluid in stock, so there is nothing I need right now to take advantage of this. But maybe someone else here can.

They probably don't have that many people that actually take advantage of it. I've bought several things from them over the years - their shipping location used to be close enough to just go pick my orders up. Brake parts are probably the only things I've ever ordered that qualified and I just didn't think of it when I needed new brake parts.

I would have never realized it was good for fluids though. The idea of buying an oil change kit once and returning the old oil for free oil changes "forever" is pretty appealing. I wonder if I can just drive it down to Milford. it's a bit of a hike - but not compared to 90 bucks for fresh oil and filter

Yep it's been well touted for years. You just have to go through the hassle of sending your old stuff back from fluids to parts

It's worth it for wear items like pads or windshield wipers. For me personally I wouldn't go as far as oil due to the hassle

Wow. It's too bad they don't sell track pads.. They have some ferodo ds2500, but not the 1.11. Shame
