Hein Gericke - oil and filter deal

For years I have got the 'oil and filter' deals from HG, went there last week and they said they no longer did them!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo!!! Is this the same policy company wide or just my local one?

It was a cracking deal ....

Also who makes the HG own brand oil?

yeap it's been a few months that they stopped doing it anymore

our local HG always give me motul 5100 in that deal.

That Motul oil is rather cr@p though.

i only leave it in for about 3k so its always done the job for me, and i'm a tight wad so the cheaper the better

The oil is not something I skimp on...

i thought motul was a good brand?

On what basis do you say that???

I have used Motul Semi that you get in the HG oil and filter deal for ... er ... best part of a decade in ALL my bikes ... including race engines ... I have NEVER had any oil related problems ...

On the basis that when I use it the engine always sounds louder and I get more clutch slip and related problems, put some more expensive stuff in and it goes away. Plus a mate I have who been working with bikes for years and is also a mech in the army says the same, it just doesn't seem as 'nice' as the other stuff.
