JeffR Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Smith and Allen oils are pretty good and not too expensive: http://www.smithandallan.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I use Smith & Allen. I hate to suggest it but if you "like" them on Facebook you can find their monthly discount code in their feed and get another 10% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 oooooooooooohhhh how i wish i had seen that post a lil earlier fridge - guess who placed order a lil while ago. ahh well next time. they do seem to have a fair range, and given i need engine and hyd oil also for log splitter yearly could be a happy camper. Lets see how quick delivery comes because thats a big issue up here, often couriers stop 14 miles away overnight even if thats at 2pm.

Obviously I'm somewhat closer to them than you are, but the last time I ordered from them they were very quick at delivering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwakers Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 often couriers stop 14 miles away overnight even if thats at 2pm. usually not the drivers choice. once your out of hours thats it, you have to park up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souster Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Nothing wrong with comma oil. They've been about years and very reputable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=jon= Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Nothing wrong with comma oil. They've been about years and very reputable I was going to say something similar - most oils are made to a standard spec in a large refinery somewhere and stuck in different coloured bottles to suit whoever is branding it - the contents are often the same. As long as it's got the relevant lists of letters and suitability codes it'll do the job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
