    I was wondering if you younger and street wise shopaholics could help me.

    I need a store ?  that stocks any full Synthetic oil 20-50 other than HD in 4 or 5 ltr containers . I have contacted Mobil with no result, phoned numerous retailers in Melbourne and cannot get it in a 20/50-60. What I would like is a store that has it in stock it in the Melbourne area (so I can get it picked up) or the Albury area NSW.

    Cheers.

    If you want the best and are prepared to pay the price,then Burson auto parts,which are all around the east coast states sell REDLINE fully synthetic oils that are available in 1 qt and 1 Gallon containers,they also sell other Redline oils as well.

    Apatchie this store has a shit load of oils but from what i can see its automotive and diesel , I do have a Question this bloke from the oil shop said to me and i Quote 20/50 for bikes and 20/50 for cars is the same grade of oils and that synthetic is all the same ????? then he said that its the bike industry that changes  the advertisement to make a shit load of money .........

    BACAMICK I have called both the local HD stealer's Albury and Shepp both only stock the small HD oil. I just wonder if there is a separate production line for motorsickel oil or a printer that just prints labels as required. Finny I will settle for any 20-50/60 Synthetic because I think the over priced boutique oils have got that part of the market well and truly covered, so if you know of any common motor-vehicle brands let me know.
