CHANGE IN OIL NAME

[Kremmen]

Hi all,
Just ordered FD oil from Opie... and have found that SAF-XO has been superseded with Syntrax Longlife 75 - 90
Worth bearing in mind when you next order....
Obviously the word long life is what's made it more expensive....... wont make any shred of difference to us folk though

Regards

I supply the oil to my dealer when servicing the bike rather than pay his prices.

I came across the same problem. I told the dealer the oils name had changed but he advised he was still getting the old stuff and wasn't aware it had been changed.

The specs are nearly identical, just seems to be an additional BMW duty.

Just an exc use to increase the price from where I stand.

I bough some from Opie, they occasionally offer free shipping which makes t quite cheap (paid £15 delivered)

That's five FD Oil Changes, I will do this each tyre change (about every 4k) so the life of the oil is irrelevant, but £3 of oil at each tyre change is almost unnoticeable and if it helps keep the FD going money well spent.
