What is the best to use? Everyone goes on about gettin oil from VW/GSf, but if you cant get it, what is the best alternative. Castrol is gonna get a slating for sure..... Comma? Duckhams?
Assume you cant get oil from VW, so syntas is out of the qesution. Ie your regular local motor factors
Never had any problems with Duckhams or Havoline. And your right about Castrol getting a slating.......
Everybody hates Castrol...... I used to like Duckhams, purely for the fact that it was green tho.....
I topped up the Mundano with vegetable oil, despite the fact there was a litre of GTX on the garage shelf.... But then I did piss in the coolant, too.....
Castrol really cant be that bad. I remember that when the first Honda Fireblades came out, Castrol did a test on some banked oval track - the bike was flat out round the oval for 72hours or something stupid like that, changing riders through the night etc - I think the average speed was 140 odd mph including stops for fuel etc. They stripped the engine down afterwards and there was no wear on the internals to be seen. Think it was in the motorcycle news I read about it. I'm using Synta Silver myself though
what can be wrong with castrol they use it for racing dont they? have been in business for about 90 years
I was using halfords part synth green container seemed ok till I added some castrol magnaBS of the same grade I bought on a cashback a while ago. Now it runs off the end of the dipstick like water and adds to the already big problem with oil leaks. I should get on and change it sharpish, funny it seems a bit more responsive now the oil is back on the stick though
