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!!! :smt088 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?

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 ... :confused:

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.
