Hi all.....

This is Westway Lubricants here based in Wombourne UK.
Just want to leave this little statement here....
We NEVER have or NEVER will sell oils that have been formulated using recycled oils.I'ts a false economy....the process of trying to regenerate used oil into new oil costs more than simply using virgin base oils.
You can tell our oils are new by the light colour they are when pouring them, they also do not smell like a used engine oil.
No matter how much you process a used oil it will always be dark, it can't be "filtered" out as this darkness is attributed to the oxidation caused by the combustion process.We are a real British company using only Virgin base oils and additives sourced here in the UK.
The reason why our products are priced so competitively is because we have much lower operating costs to the big brands. We have no sales reps on the roads, we don't sponsor race teams, we don't spend huge amounts on advertising and marketing, we don't have a chain of distributors all adding their own markup, we simply sell good quality oil at the best prices we can direct to the customer/end user. We are registered here in the UK and pay UK VAT & Tax....Simples!!



There you go... just thought i'd put this out there as there are a lot of people asking the question.
Thanks guys and if you have purchased from us I thank you very much for your support.(Moderators please feel free to reach out to us if this post requires editing or goes against your rules, this is not a post to push our wares, it's simply to dispel some inaccurate information here on your site)

Thank you for your info, much appreciated.


I decided to give your oil a go back in early 2016 and have bought it ever since, i won't use anything else in my bike now.  :thumbup

Yep sales pitch  :rolleyes

Its cheap oil, yes it works, but the last time I looked it's at the lower end of all the specs for the grades, so it will just get through that's why it's cheap.  They're not doing you a favour, they're trying to max their profit, by their lower overheads.  Now if they offered exactly the same high end spec oils as the like's of Mobile, Fucus, Castrol etc and I mean like for like then yes, but they don't.

I'm not saying don't use it, just be aware of what your buying.

Having looked at the Label of my bargain basement oil it seems it is in fact a product of the EU. Unfortunately I can't change the name of the thread to reflect this. Nice of you to flag the british flag for North Sea oil darrsi, but a bargain is a bargain!
What woudl you like the title to be? for now Ive just changed Russian to EU.

So what?


4 years ago I had this discussion on here and decided to be the Guinea pig to try it out.


4 years and several oil changes later, i can confirm it is absolutely fine, and a good price too.


That's what everyone wanted to hear isn't it?

im just saying what a job it must be to have that job
i would rather trust the opinion of the many (including the classic motorcycle racing club) who have endorsed this oil.
it just seems a bit of a great job running all over the net reading forums
i heard of this company from years ago within the classic racers circle and have no problem with them at all
