gordon_dunn Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Just noticed this in the local ASDA at the weekend. Typically I'm used to paying anything between £10 and £14 for it, and it's not that widely available 'off the shelf' here- so I was very surprised to see it at only £5 Checked their website and it does seem to be available nationally at this price- Bargain! http://groceries.asda.com/product/oils- ... 0002011583 Needless to say- i've stocked up on a lot of oil!

Guest Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It that synthetic or mineral oil I wonder... hard to see on the bottle. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas_whitmore Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Has anyone had engine trouble using mineral instead off synthetic oil if synthetic oil is spec" for you motor . Cas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hann__ Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It that synthetic or mineral oil I wonder... hard to see on the bottle. SW That`s waht i`m thinking - Power1 Scooter is/was semi-synthetic, Power1 Racing is fully synthetic. It used to be written just below the `Power1` on the bottle, but this one labelled `NEW` has nothing.. Assume semi-synthetic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I am going to assume mineral at £5 a pop. Cas, I have had no problems with it because I never use it The quality difference is staggering and for the amount we use as Paramotor pilots it's just not worth the saving (at a guess maybe £1 a flight or something along those lines) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon_dunn Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm pretty sure it's fully synthetic. Branding and names have changed over the years- but it's still 'TTS' I 've no problems with mineral, but it dosen't burn as cleanly as the fully synth. Castrol was recommended by the manufactures when I flew the H&E machines- never had any trouble with it in 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one at Asda appears to be semi; https://www.louis.de/en/artikel/castrol ... l/10038368 It`s hard finding details of this `New` Power1 in the UK, all info seems to be from Europe. Still, £5 is good, semi is usually about 9/10 quid. There`s nothing like an oil thread to get folk going, is there......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
