Suppliers of engine oil
Hi All,
A question: Where do people buy their engine oil from? I'll soon have two bikes back home that will be in need of oil so I thought it probably worth ordering a big can of monograde from somewhere. Any recommendations?
Someone mentioned 'Silgo Lubricants Ltd' in another thread and I'm just waiting for them to get back to me with prices. Their classic oils (Silkolene) brochure is attached. I guess it is the 'Osmaston 50 Classic' I'd be looking at for a SAE 50 mineral non-detergent monograde.
And how about suppliers for the 'semi-fluid grease' used in CP gearboxes?
Cheers, James

Hi James,
You can also look at Morris Lubricants http://www.morrislubricants.co.uk/scrip ... tegory=138
and Castrol Classic http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectiong ... Id=7027142
I have ordered from both and currently use Morris as their prices were more attractive.
They both do a semi-fluid grease used by pre 1948 CP gearboxes.
hope you all have a safe journey

Re: Suppliers of engine oil
I got several boxes of chateau-boxed Bordeaux at €12 each (3 litres) - about €3 (£2.70) a bottle from the supermarket. Less embarrassing at recycling time as with bottles the bin men can't lift our plastic box.......

Cost for delivery to London would be £5. Delivery to West Midlands would be £15.
Lead time from order approx 7/8 days.

Re: Suppliers of engine oil
Best deal is Morris 25ltr straight 50.
I have a discount card for halfords so if stuck get a deal on their classic 20/50 which is ok in my twin.

Re: Suppliers of engine oil
Just went to order some oil and grease from Morris Lubricants and noticed there was a box to enter a promotional code at the checkout. Did a quick search and found that many of the classic car and bike clubs have a 10% discount scheme - can we perhaps get this get up for us too? The advertised promo code for the Bugatti owner's club (BUG888) was out of date, so I gave BUG999 a shot and low and behold it worked knocking 10% of the order!
So enter "BUG999" if you order anything to get the 10% discount.
