Here and there, now and then.
If anyone from the north west section is interested I can supply a semi synthetic 20/50 engine oil for about £12 for 4 litres (depending how much is ordered). If there are enough interested I could meet you at the windmill with your orders.
PM me if interested. P

PS. it is legally aquired.
 
Yer don`t need synth or even semi synth for a GS. :rob


And that ain`t particularly cheap for the mineral that is all they do need :augie
 
I'm still looking for a mineral 20/50 on the Wirral...only found Halfrauds own 'clasic 20/50 ' at £20 a 'gallon'....anyone know where I can get the stuff on t Wirral?

BTW Fatal is a top guy :thumb2
 
It's Rock Oil, I have had a trade account with them for several years so it's legit, not knock off, the spec is API SL/CG4 ACEA A3 & B4, so it's a quite a high spec and is also suitable for diesel engines as well. I and several friends have run our BMWs and Harleys on this stuff for several years without any problems. I can also supply similar spec 15/50 for similar price.
If anyone wants a 10/40 semi synth with an SL/CG4 JASO MA rating I can do that as well, I've seen this stuff retail at over £22 for 4 litres, my price will be substantially cheaper.

Kenny, many thanks for the vote of confidence.


I may be able to get hold of a mineral 20/50, the spec being SJ/CG4, but I don't think it will be a great deal cheaper than the semi synthetic.

Tarka, I'd be obliged if you could point us all in direction for cheaper oil, I'll not be making on a huge profit on this. I know the bikes will run quite happily on mineral oil, but why not use a higher spec oil if you can get it as cheap as or even cheaper than a lower spec mineral, on a hot summers day in slow moving traffic you may be glad you had it.

I'll contact my rep today for some prices.
 
Well I like Rock Oil, used to use it a lot in my sportsbikes, so I'll take some off ya kind sir.:thumb2

Put me down for 8 litres. If you want to add a couple of litres of GS suitable gearbox oil to that AND if you can get me something suitable for my Audi A2 1.6FSi instead of the horrendously expensive Shell Helix it uses (i'll PM the spec later) then i'd be well made up.:bow

Oh and I need to do a change on my old Merc C250TD too very soon so if the stuff you are offering is suitable for that then I'd like to double my order.:D

Do you have trade account iwith Scottoiler too cos I'd like 10 litres of FS365 please:augie

I may also be able to supply a mineral 80w90 API GL5 gear oil and also a synthetic 75w90 gear oil. Prices to follow soon.

I am unable to supply the oil needed for scott oilers.


If people PM their orders I will hopefully be able to collect the stuff next monday and take it to the windmill next tuesday (is that when the next meeting is?) Payment in cash please on delivery. If you'd also provide a phone number I'd appreciate it.
 
Alan,

Thanks for the PM and for sorting out the bike and the cars.............hope to collect on Tuesday night. Wondering how the GS will cope with the weight as I think i'm taking enough off you to see me through any future oil crisis:eek

If I crash on the M6 on the way home it'll be closed for days while they try to clean the slick up :D

Cheers,

Ian :beerjug:
 
more prices,

Mineral gearbox oil API GL5 80w90 £5 per litre bottle

Synthetic 5w30 engine oil API SL/CF ACEA A3 & B4 £27 per 4 litres
This is several pounds cheaper than halfords equivalent stuff.
 
Great deal on Oil

Alan

Many thanks for the oil and the warm brew, a pleasure meeting and i'm sure our paths will cross in the future.....Thanks again.
 
20 litres of engine oil, 1itre of gear oil & 500ml of DOT4

Thanks for the Rock Oil Alan.

Put the special stuff in the Audi myself a couple of weeks ago as that was one of my between services oil changes, saved me a small fortune getting it from you Alan.

The Merc diesel was done yesterday, left the oil in the boot when it went in for a full service.

Just the 2 bikes to do now. The GS was only serviced about 2k ago but I always do 3k engine/gear oil changes in betweeen the services so I'll do that in December. I'll drop the oil in the DRZ around the same time.

Will want some more from you in the New Year :thumb2

If this is still available, I've been recommended the Synthetically enhanced mineral 20/50 for my airheads by someone I trust implicitly.
the Castrol XL 20/50 or "classic" as it's sometimes branded, is getting much too expensive and the spec is exactly the same as the Rock Oil:D

I may need to enquire about shipping some down here to Devon :augie

for upcoming airhead gathering..
 
Rock oil 20w50

Picked up my order today,brilliant price, and well worth the ride over.
Thanks Allan.:thumb2

Are we allowed to know what brand ?

Try Trent lubricants in Stoke all there oil is shell based they will mix you any grade up want while you wait. I bought 25 liters 10w50 £57 inc vat, hope this helps.
 
Thanks for sorting me out with the 20w50 Alan :thumb2

cheers
