Hi

Get mine off Flea bay

Yes Halfords at the mo are selling 10/40 semi 5 litres for 21 squids, filters are champions and cost about 7 squids so you will have some left for topping up as well.....bargain.

I always use genuine parts and quality brand oil past experience has shone me not to be a cheap skate check out eBay

on it now ,will go for genuine and good grade of semi, wiltry e gay and compare prices with rf's last post

If you want plaz I can get you some prices on Monday when back in at cost price from the suppliers, just let me know your preferred choice of oil manufacture as I can get them all.

Thats ok Plaz, £27 is cheep anyway as theres no P&P as well. out of interest what brand oil did you go for!!

The deal was a Hi flow filter ( which I've usually had ) and the oil is Silkolene , I can't remember If I've had that before to be honest but if it's no good for the clutch ( as sometimes you can have gear selection probs eg 1st hard to engage ) then I'll pop in something else :-)

At that price its going to be Super 4 which is a good an oil you can get in semi synth, its always lasted 3k when I have used it, ie doesnt come out blacker than Al Jolson after make up.......

Just checked and it is super 4 , will see how the tiller fairs with it ! Oil in TL quite brown now through the sight glass , I usually change it every year regardless of milage , as it don't clock more than 2 or 3 K a year .
Seems I've not lost any more clutch fluid for a while ? Hope it stays that way :-)

Silkolene super4 is good stuff mate, use it in both me rides & no clutch issues/slipping

got round to changing the oil & filter, no probs till i tried to loosen the filter itself which must of been done up by a gorilla tried by hand first, no joy then i tried the whack a screwdriver through filter method this could of gone better as i realised i was trying to put the screwdriver through the threaded filter bolt in the sump so i popped to halfords and got a filter wrench and guess wot it worked i replaced old for new and did it up hand tight ran the engine with new oil and checked for leaks from sump bolt and new filter all fine and dry so shoved the belly pan back on ,

Glad to here you got it done
