Is it any easier in Russian?  :lol

[Jules-C]

In Russian it says:

Motorcycle oil suitable for wet clutches and catalytic converters.  No problem using it in a Fazer.

But in the original Russian​ half the letters are back to front

[Westway Lubricants]

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

[cl1ve2004]

I used westway fork oil for my last 2 fork rebuilds/messing with springs/levels..good stuff,will be ordering engine oil from them once weather turns nice.. :rolleyes

[Disorderlypunk]

why do i have a feeling someone at westway oils has a cushy marketing job where they just scour the internet finding if its mentioned anywhere and post that.

[robbo]

Found the same post from Westway on a Triumph forum.

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. 

[b1k3rdude]

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.

[Woodzey80]

Hi all ! Whats the brand that is thread refers to ? I have been using mannol oil in both my car & bike for a few years now. Its golden & slippery & at great price both vehicles run great onit, says made in EU on the can.

[Woodzey80]

Sorry my bad ! I've just looked at the very start of the thread & seen the pics of the brand.

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?

[b1k3rdude]

@darrsi, added your into to the OP.
