Title: Cheap engine oil from Hein Gericke
Post by: shaggs147 on February 12, 2016, 09:51:11 PM
Not sure how good or bad this engine oil is, but it seems to be a bit of a bargain or a mistake from Hein Gericke.
Thought I'd post the link in case anyone needed an oil change

Probably not a mistake, as I was talking to a guy in the oil industry a couple of weeks ago who said prices are dropping more than ever and should stay low for sometime..................good news all round !  :clap:

Unless you are employed in the oil industry Ant  :wink: 


I think H G might be discounting iridium plugs also

when hein gericke had the stores I saw this oil on offer at I think around the £12 mark, i was running 2 bikes at the time and bought enough to do 2 oil changes on the 2 bikes .
It was fine and gearbox operation was no different to any other oil ive used.

If its the correct grade 10w/40 and semi synth then it will be always ok as long as you dont push your service intervals too much

Well I've ordered 16 litres for an oil change now and a few future ones. At that price its rude not to!
