10w30 Engine oil

[Ian C]

That is expensive, we use Rye oils 10/40w semi synthetic from a 205 ltr barrel in absolutely everything . That works out at about £1.10 a liter depending who`s on the discount button in the office.

Is that ok for plant engines, made vans and old tractors?

Been tidying a shed while it rained, came across ,4 litres of 20/50 "not to be used in engines after 1980" think it's going in the oil can.....

Back "in the day" Duckhams 20/50 was the oil to aspire to. Cortina, Marina, Maxi, Capri etc and a bumper sticker too!

 

Also a rocker cover full of mayonnaise!

Super UTO (SUTO) tractor oil is 10w30. Less than £2 per litre.

Use Rye Oil for chain oil so might get a drum in .

I always check the oil spec , low cost options are not always suitable for late machinery .
