Silkolene engine oil

[silv]

I have looked at Radicals online price for Pro 4 15\50. Is it available any cheaper elsewhere. Where do you buy yours from ? Thanks

struggle to buy it local for us so get it from radical, always try to wait untill wanting some other bits to offset postage.

Opie oils 01209 215164 (Guy or Simon)

Normaly do a good deal if ordering a few containers of oil, stock pretty much everything & next day delivery.

I think Radical are actually cheaper than Opie for this oil.

if the price on their website is correct Radical are cheaper !!
Note : Just spoken to Radical and they are cheaper but make up the differance by charging a fortune for carraige.

Guess you've tried your local bike shop? Oil prices do seem to be constantly on the up though ... strangly they never come down though

Hi Rob, yep bought some from my local bike shop a bit more than Radical but no carriage!! I am off to Snetterton this Sat for my first in the SR3. Should be interesting compared to our old no downforce clubsport !!

hi chaps

a lot of the bike racers use putoline oil i have been using it for two years now and the engine is showing little signs of wear

I am trying to work out how much oil I will need. How much does a dry sumped clubsport take? How often do people change the oil when racing?
Thanks

About 5 litres, and I used to change mine after every race.

sounds about right, 1 race meeting = 1 season of hill climbs and sprints.

Depends on how long the race is of course

For trackday use, once every 3 trackdays or 6 hours running
