Founding Member Retro Rich Posted December 29, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I use the Smith & Allan 10W-30 Ultra in my Coupe, Triumph and Jazz. Fantastic oil which I will continue to use. I prefer to change it every 3 months though as after 6 it really has done it’s job. For the cost of it, it is also rude not to change it at 3 month intervals 😂 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars oil suffers with fuel contamination and low engine temperatures... Do you change the filter too on such short frequency changes? Interesting that you use the Smith and Allan in the Jazz..... I use semi synth in the two in my care.... I presume all ok? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more for convenience if I’m honest. I have just as good mpg from it, so it must be happy. in answer to the filter question, I have loads of them for the Triumph (bought a stock of 25). So every time for Triumph and every 6 months for Coupe and jazz. So every other change 👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted April 19, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I've found many things are cheaper bought via ebay from their sellers ebay listings than from the sellers website. Stupid really but i guess they write off the lower price as loss-leaders and the ebay fees against tax although it's possible the e-commerce site charges them commission on sales too so could be swings and roundabouts. Either way it pays to shop around! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted November 29, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Need a refill of Smith and Allan oil so checked out ebygum, 69.99, blimey that's gone up again !!! Just 18 months ago it was about 48 quid, few months later it was still the same but another year down and its sitting just shy of 70 quid. Direct it's just over 60 quid plus a tenner delivery.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted November 30, 2022 Author Administrators Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Think the last lot I purchased was around the 55 notes mark. 🤨 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted November 30, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Think I paid just short of 60 last time... As the oil price has dropped substantially in the last few months perhaps it might work through to Smith and Allan too ...I guess the time is dependent on the rate of sale of the more expensive cost of their stock on the market, mineral oil probably a slow throughput??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
