How do you buy your oil 25lt or 210lt drum?

[Horatio]

As the tittle suggests, I am wanting to know if it is better to go big when it comes to buying chain oil?

Does the high initial outlay for such a large amount, 210lt, out weigh the overall saving?

Have no idea where I would buy it I am in Diss, South Norfolk.

Opinion wanted, how do you guys buy your oil, 25lt or 210lt?

Double edge sword. The more work you get the more oil you get though.

Seem to pick up chain oil everytime I go past the saw shop.

210L every time. The saving is huge and less hassle. Normally lasts us around 6 months.

Where's the best place to get 210 L ? Jonsie don't do em. What price are they?

The few times we've priced up a 205ltr locally it's never worked out any cheaper per litre than buying the 20/25ltr drums.

 

Think we're on £2/litre at the mo - it's a bit of a bad show when it was more like 70p a litre not that many years ago. Seemed to go up £3-4 a barrel every time we went in and over the course of a year had doubled.

25 ltr every time , it's amazing how many mates want to borrow some when they see the 205 ltr .
