Is it a 4T oil or just a normal multigrade car type oil, Mineral, Semi-synthetic or Synthetic?

And a bargain at that price for 1 litre.

If it is bike specific oil then that's a very good deal.
Wouldn't entertain car oil though, been there, done that, my bike simply didn't like it and was changed a few days later at a loss.

Oh yeah sorry, its tractor oil.
with added grinding paste..
M and P charge £40 quid for 4 litres,  £3.12 a litre is a fantastic price ( if you own a Massey Ferguson )

In Morrisons they have got olive oil cheap too, so I am getting a few litres of that. Fuks the engine but smells like an Italian restaurant.
and lard to lube the brake caliper pistons :lol

Tescos garages keep doing this. Bought some a couple of years ago @£2 a litre. Obviously they sell none at £13 a litre, then have to massively drop the price to get rid of it. You think they would have worked it out by now  :rolleyes

Ha Ha yeah I got 12 litres, might go back for more.

Is it definitely available at garage only and not in the store itself?

I'm quite near a big store now, but there's not a garage attached.

Could do with a couple of litres for an oil change on my old trail bike. Might even be enough left over to do the mower! Lol

Just popped in the shop. No luck.

Title: Re: Cheap oil.
Post by: mtread on 23 January 2018, 01:14:35 pm

Definitely garages only. It's Power 1 Racing fully synthetic. I got the last 2 in mine. Obviously celtic had been there first  :lol They've also got Power 1 2T for £3.25 if anybody has a stroker. Similar labels so make sure you pick up the right bottles....

Title: Re: Cheap oil.
Post by: robbo on 23 January 2018, 01:22:57 pm

Obviously different stores are discounting various Castrol products. Unless sold out should be in any large store with a motoring section. Cheapest I could see online for Power 1 was £9.50 + postage.

  They've also got Power 1 2T for £3.25 if anybody has a stroker.

Just passed the tip on to my mate who has a 1981 RD350lc.

He's been buying his two stroke oil from B&Q apparently!.

He works just across the road from a Tesco garage. He's checking it out tomorrow.
