Default Oil...

...but not a silly question about what type to use!

Does anyone have any recomendations for shops or websites which tend to have deals on motorcycle engine oil?

I'm sure I always see good deals when I don't need the stuff, but now I can't find a single deal which seems worthwhile.

Cheers

Still pretty cheap even at £20, it's quality oil.

I have used Halfords since I have ever had the bike , you get 2 oil changes from the bottle and a bit spare for top ups . The bike has done over 45k miles now and is a K3

Good shout - I'll be picking some up at the weekend. Hadn't noticed the screw driver deal when I was in the shop, but they are showing it online!
