    do you guys (2 smokers) pay that much for your oil or get petrol station stuff
    $100 seems over the top. How long will it take to use 4ltrs.

    Sawyers always have a good stock of 4L bottles of Shell VSX for $60ish. I'm sure if you gave them a call they'd hook you up. What's up with paying close to $30 a litre for motul?! There's no way it's going to give you that much performance or extra protection over the cheaper brands. Sounds like far too many people are suckers for marketing.

    I must defend the shop here (as always)
    Thats about normal for Motul Fully syn oil.
    If you want a cheap oil,buy a cheap oil (i am not directing this at you Pyro, am making a general statement).

    You will notice the difference...
    smoother running, sounds better, LESS SMOKE!


    Its up to you end the end.
