Was looking at a K&N one too

I wouldn't even entertain one of those even if I could 100% prove it was an actual K&N filter, so stick with Mann filter providing its the right one W 610/6  as loads of motor factors including euro car parts supply the wrong filter.👿

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 😂

Yep, the more changes the better particularly for cars tootled around towns and especially with the stupid low speed limits being imposed everywhere. 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?

Hahahaha, that tickled me. 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 👍

K+N genuine motorcycle filters are sheeeeeite. No heard any reports for cars but I wouldn't risk it

Its always been cheaper on eBay via S&A only realized late last year it was cheaper, as I never thought it would be TBH as I always like buying direct if possible.

[PTR200S]

Agreed, always go direct too but recently I have found quite a lot of stuff on amazon, ebay etc is cheaper than direct but always worth checking  🙂

Smith and Allen Ultra ordered, 20 litre drum, £47.49 delivered , via ebay.

Direct from Smith and Allen its 58 odds quid delivered.... so ordered from ebay, direct from , err, Smith and Allen  !!! 🙄🙄

Excellent Excellent 👍

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!

[PTR200S]

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....

[hughezee]

Think the last lot I purchased was around the 55 notes mark. 🤨

[PTR200S]

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???
