Groundsman 2 Stroke Oil

[PSC GP200]

Hi Guys,

I think this may have been discussed on here before, but I'll ask anyway.

Despite the cost of crude oil more than halving in price the cost of 2 stroke oil has remained pretty much the same. So, I was considering trying Groundsman on account of the spec seeming to be the same as road-going 2 stroke oils and the lower price. Are many of you guys using it?

[missing lynx]

most oils now are ether semi or totally synthetic meaning the cost of oil has little bearing on the price as they don't have much if any oil in them

Like yourself I'd heard people talking about Groundsman and eventually I gave it a go. I'm glad I did because I can't fault it at all. My scooter has not missed a beat since I've been using it. I'd certainly recommend you giving it a go.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Anyone know where the cheapest place to buy it is, maybe buying in bigger quantities?

[ToBoldlyGo]

This is where I got mine...

It is available in larger quantities I think. Not sure where you'd buy it though.

I've been using it for a while now in an Avanti and a TS1 and just started the 3rd 5ltr can. Use with confidence

[burnside]

I've been using in for 3 years now, does the job just fine. Also get mine from Tines, works out at £4 a litre

[HxPaul]

I use this stuff,works out at just over £3 per litre.http://www.lubetechshop.co.uk/product_i ... ucts_id=77

EDIT.
Forgot to add,if your on the Scooterotica site you get a discount.Code is se001,it brings down the price even further.For 5 litres the normal price is £24.75,with discount its £23.51.

One of those sites where you have to create an account just to find out how much shipping is

Any idea how much 5 litres shipping is?

[Donnie]

The lubetech is free shipping, at least on the 5l one anyway

[HxPaul]

20 litres is £64.75 delivered for the exol oil.

Thanks Paul, just ordered some to audition, code works, saved £1.24 on 5 litres.
Edit.....
Turned up today (Wednesday) quick service, don't think that's bad at all for 5 litres of fully synthetic delivered to your door.

I have ended up buying 30 litres (25 drum and 5 ltr bottle) from Abbey Garden Machinery Ltd for £105.28, with free delivery. About £3.50 a litre, so about half price of single litre bottles of semi-synthetic. Might be cheaper elsewhere?

[Adam_Winstone]

I'll soon be starting my 3rd 20 litre drum!

Coaster I too run an Avanti 225, stomps on like a train can't fault it. Built the engine 5 years ago and never been stripped since . I might give this oil a go

[Strummer10]

Just ordered 5 litres to give it a go from the Exol oil site as mentioned above by HX Paul.....cheers

[gaz_powell]

I'm on my third drum of exol semi - use it in my 2 nicosil barrel TS1s, steel lined TS1 and my steel lined Ali vespa.
My mate used it in his malossi 172 and now in his stage 4 GP.
No problems on any 3% on brettas and 2 on vespas.
My scoots are only used for rallies so it's had good testing on hard motorway miles

[Strummer10]

I will give it a go, had been buying fully synthetic ROCK Oil but its at least £10 a litre and do I need it ?

[gaz_powell]

That's were I was buying putoline TT sport in 12 litre boxes and still paying over a tenner a litre. I got the spec sheet from putoline and exol to compare and they were virtually identical. So I give a go and glad I did.

Hi is this the one that you are recommending.
