Oil

Amazon & Eurocarparts

 

You mean the bike oil.....not the car stuff?

Why not the Castrol equivalent? Your bike won’t know the difference. I doubt there is sufficient demand/profit for Mobil to start competing with a well established competitor.

 

Halfords have the castrol 10w40

 

T would have to agree, Amazon. There are so many different brands of lubes on the market today, no one retailer can possibly stock everything. Amazon usually saves you a few bucks anyway!

 

I would guess that since the merger with Esso the Mobil brand has retrenched in the UK. Have you tried Esso petrol stations?

 

What about Opie oils who have a discount code?

 

Castrol is used in al the new Triumph bikes right from the factory. I use Amsoil.

 

Does make matter after all if it meets the same spec its the same as any other brand.

 

Sorry to ask but why do you need 10w40 Racing oil?
I have used 5w40 or 5w/50!
Just buy the best value oil that meets the spec

 

So are most others on Opie site or Eurocarparts just make sure it is Jaso MA2

Is the oil for Rocket 3?

What about this: https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-69341-...40-performance-synthetic-bike-engine-oil.aspx
Price for the shell may be better at Eurocarparts with their SALE90 discount code.

 

Even fully mineral oils are up to spec for any modern engines these days its the additives that make the oil compliant with various types of engines/metals,
i use a semi synthetic 20w50 in my trident (1975) which far out performs any oil of its day.

 

No worries, as an Engineer I find most of the public get too hung up on oils and stuff, most modern oils will be fine for normal bike/car engine use, the only issue is wet clutch on bikes.
