Problems getting oil!

[(RIP) Bobble]

Hi Tossers

I am having a real problem trying to get some EPX90 for my gearbox etc,nobody round here is selling it. I've been to 3 local motofactors and even been to Halfords, what's going on? They are all trying to sell me 80w90.

Please tell me where I can get some from mail order, or another outlet.

Cheers

Why not just use EP80/90 ?? it's a 90 weight which is what you need....GL 5 if i'am correct.

Thanks for the reply's, I am led to beleive (could be wrong ) that the ep80/90 is a thinner oil to start with. I could just be being a 'bit anal' but I thought it would be better to get the oil that is recommended.

So has anybody done high mileage with 80/90 oil with no ill effects? any thoughts / advise on the above.

Been running my 1150 GS with Castrol Differential EPX 80W-90 API GL5 in both Gearbox and Rear Drive for 2 years now, no probs yet, just be sure you use GL5 It was recommended in a search I did on this very site
