Where do you buy your oil?

With my local Halfords being continually out of stock and my local motor factors' opening hours not suiting I was wondering where you buy your oil?

I really, really want to avoid going to my local bike dealer as I'd rather shove wasps up my bum than give them money the miserable sods.

I'm after some semi/fully synth stuff at a reasonable price.

I've been using Hein Gericke (made by Motul) 10w/40 semi-synthetic for a year or so now.

It's not a bad oil it's JASO MA and API SG rated and usually costs £13.99/4L though they have it on offer at £12.71/4L at the moment (not that my local branch have stock).

And if you take your 2008 HG catalogue in they'll give you a £5 gift voucher, so you could get it for £7.71!

Any local garage that sells the grade I need and that isn't too expensive.

They don't have to burn oil, however high performance bikes often have a very low oil capacity, meaning they need to be changed regularly as a small contamination will have a higher impact.
Some people stick extra oil radiators on to Husabergs and KTM EXCs etc.
