John Pearson Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Come on, fairs fair: 5 litres of 20/50 from a motor factor can cost you £8 if its good ordinary stuff (eg Duckhams) although you can pay up to £12 per litre for fully synthetic special stuff. If you search about you might find cheap stuff less than a £1 a litre but I always suspect it is old oil, filtered and with a magnet swirled around in it. Employee (or 'in the trade') discounts can be pretty good: I knew of a ball bearing maker who had a list price but if you bought 4 then you got 50 or 60% off: employees got 92 1/2% off each one they bought! You can guarantee that the seven and a half percent left did not leave the company out of pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Paul. If this is for the engine you need SAE 30, that's what the B60 was intended to run off = OMD 110. BTW OMD 110 also goes in the gearbox, not gear oil. Yes really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul connor Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 i thought the engine +gears was 20-50? hmmm i know the gear box is omd110, i just had that as 20-50. the ep90 is for the tractas etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
