Oil Choices

[geoffers997]

Hello All,
My favoured brand (Exol) of the red stuff keeps on going up and up - it’s currently just shy of £30 delivered.

I found this at a massive £3 cheaper, anyone used it before;

Not that oil in particular, but I've used Smith & Allan oils for years without issue. They've got a good reputation.

Can't be anything wrong with it as its jaso fd spec

I'd have to look at the full spec but fully synthetic is the top of the oil tree even in 2Ts and should be used on any bike used hard.

I have used Smith & Allan oils for years both 4 & 2 stroke, never had any problems with an engine running on it and it is used by a lot of classic bike racers. Next day delivery and very good prices.

As you mentioned your favoured brand is Exol, why not buy direct from the official distributor and not eBay. LubeTech offer 10% discount if you go direct. Free delivery to mainland UK so 5 Litres of Optima Racing 2 Stroke (Fully Synthetic) is £26.99 all in. It’s a ridiculously good price.

Top tip, I’ll give that a spin.

Many thanks

I use their oils for everything: bikes, van and car. Never had a problem and excellent value for money.

Morning, I keep thinking about this one,, I worked in the motorcycle oil industry in the past, so have a bit of an understanding of it.
I stick with them for all my oils and lube because I know it, and it's one less thing to think about, when it comes to keeping our lovely bikes going.
I honestly don't think with the costs involved in producing the products there could be any rouge ones out there these days.
