as above anyone used it? they have it on offer semi synth £13.99 per 4lt:O.
do you think its worth a try, mine taps bad enough already:laugh

Yep I use it, attitude is that i change it every 2500-3000 miles anyway so why not. According to the chap in HG they buy in bulk from Motul and put it in thier own HG bottles. could be just sales chat who knows
Never caused me a problem

what spec is it? if it meets them for a motorbike? - I'm in. Cant be any worse than Halfords!

I want to buy in bulk ideally. farting around with 4 litres at a time, lets do a group buy

get yourself a 55-gallon drum and a pump :devious

I thought semi synthetic wasnt a good idea because of the clutch?

Good idea - I'm keepping the drum in MY garage though!

Actually, thats what I want, havent found out how or if you can get it?

 

[TLR-Billbo]

any shop that sells the oil should be able to order it in a 55gal size. most do and keep it in the shop. just ask them if they can order you one :thumbup

I picked up a drum for a friend of mine before, I think it was motorex :O

Full syth - at least in the "old" days, I beleive the new stuff is fully compatible? I'm too cheap to use it.

I;ll have chat with my local dealer on the drum.

 

[ben curtis]

my local fella has a drum in the corner i will see what he can do on one of them.

I ran my track bike on fully synthetic last year and the clutch wouldn't work properly:banghead couldn't get it to slip at all when I was launching off the line, just like a switch either in or out, no inbetween. Made for spectacular starts:coocoo
Dropped the oil out, washed the plates in petrol, soaked in semi synthetic, put back together with fresh semi & it works perfect now:O

 

[ben curtis]

i never use fully synth, just thought the hg stuff was cheap at that price

Sounds well cheap, I usually pay over £30/4l at the local bike shop:O Will have to check out the spec against branded oil, but I can't see HG selling crappy oil

 

[ben curtis]

its a credit crunch price or sumit like that, all there white label goods (oil etc) are half price
