    Cheap, quality engine oil

    It can be taxing trying to find a quality motorcycle engine oil at a good price.
    Smith & Allan ( www.smithandallan.com ) in Darlington are a small firm who blend their own brand oil using Shell additives.

    5 ltrs of 10/40 semi synthetic motorcycle oil comes in at £12 + vat (will send via carrier too).
    Blended specifically for motorcycles with combined clutch & gearboxes

    It meets\exceeds CCMC G4; API SG, SH & SJ; Jaso MA specs.

    Having used their oils exclusively in agricultural engines/ transmissions/ hydraulics for many thousands of hours and in road vehicles for many tens/hundreds of thousands of miles, I can vouch for the products and the firms' backup and I have no hessitation in recommending them.

    Dunno, I only asked for 10/40 semi synth, they could do, give 'em a bell on 01325 462228 & ask for the oil tech dept.
    They do a specification sheet on all of their oils, if facts & figures are your bag.

    They just quoted me £20 plus carriage for 4 litres of semi 10/40 Advance - I've written back citing your quote so I'll see what they say

    They also sell Shell branded oils, which is what they obviously quoted you for ask for their own brand.
