It's made by Elfs. 
I watched Lord of the Rings, and those Elfs make Top Drawer stuff.
Does France normally not have any Oil?

Come off it, Wapping. You will be trying to tell us they sell petrol next. I have just spent a fortune on my auxiliary fuel system too, and it looks great behind the GS.

So...............what does the miracle oil do then?
Reverse the signs of ageing?
Heal fatal wounds?
Cure FPC failures?
Stop Proff smelling of wee?

Surely 'Xtra Grip' can't be right for an oil

It's probably a shortening of the French word, Grippe. Which means, 'To seize up'

Of course it is, better cornering innit. You'll find it on the shelves next to the liquid powerbands.

10/50 oil
Why would you not use it in a GS? Mines just had it's 1200 mile service at Charles Hurst (Main Mottarad dealer) and they put "Castrol power 1 racing 10/50" in. Apparently BMW now reccommend fully synthetic oil in all thier bike engines.

sorry ,oil thread,
when im back off tour ,mid june my gs1200 will be due its 18000 and i asked my dealer about the choice of 20w/50 or 10w/50 and its not compulsery to use liquid gold its your bike ,your choice,also if you have a leak via gasket itll piss out quicker!!!!
10w/50 is desighned for high revving engines being fully sinthetic it would be reasonable to use if bmuw would then say oil service is now extended to 10,000 instead of the 6000 or even 12,000 as its fully sinthetic after all
