4 Lt Oil Semi Synthetic £12.17
 
I noticed on the HG site they are selling 4L of Semi-Synth Moto Oil for £12.17 seems like a bargain to me.

I just bought mine from halfords £24 tuh.

Something that imo you should never skimp on is oil... £30 for 4L of Putoline. Good stuff. Love oil change, its amazing how much quieter the bike gets after (engine noise)...

We have it on good authority that HG oil is re-branded Motul.

Hardly skimping is it?

You can add at least £5.50 to that price though...

+1 !!!!
My Bike was running so sweet after I changed my oil
Definitely don't skimp on oil, I bought Tesco's own brand car oil before I knew about HG's and the bike ran beautifully :D

Don't run your bike on corn oil :lol:

If it's the same motul stuff I use (5100) then it's an ester based oil. One of the best going.

£22/4 liters from local motor factors.

That £12.50 +pnp seems a belting price.

Stu's having a chuckle, but he makes a good point - don't be fooled into thinking a particular oil is wonderful just because your bike was quieter when you filled your engine with it, any new oil will perform better than that which is at the end of it's life.

Good advice; new oil is better than used oil - whatever you decide to use.
