Where to buy?

[ChrisMember]

Anyone know where you can buy 20L drums of Motul Oil, have had a bit of a look, bike shops are expensive there must be wholesalers around or cheaper places than the Dealers.

Cheers
Chris.

Cheers just rang the local one but they don’t keep the 5100 I’ll keep ringing.

FYI Westerns Motorcycles have 4 litre Motul 5100 on special at the moment and they throw in a free oil filter.

[ChrisMember]

Do you know how much Scotty?

4L $64.95 + free filter. Not sure if they have Yamaha filter though.

Hey guys this is just a thought but IMHO a completey viable solution to you four stroke freaks:laugh: If you get a group of you guys together say 10 a nice round metricated number

and buy a 205 litre drum of Motul 5100 then divvy this up into 20 ltr drums it would surely work out cheaper for you. I believe Link (the distributers of Motul)only distribute to Dealers but there would surely be a work around for this;)

this would also work for bike wash filteroils gear oils etc etc, just a thoughtB)

You can get 20.5 liters into a 20 liter drum.

At 1.2 litres per change that’s 170.8 oil changes! At an average of 400km between changes that works out to be 68333km…

Interesting to see what the saving would be though!

[ChrisMember]

Yes Ecks i can see you have too much time on your hands.

But wait, there’s more! If I pay full price of $60 for 4 litres, or $15 for one litre, the 205 litres of Motul 5100 would cost me $3075 – and then there’s filters! At $7.50 each, if bought in bulk through Ballards, there would be, for the sake of round figures, 170 filters, so that’s $1275 for oil filters. If you buy the filters from Sam Laws in Orange at near enough to $20 each (:ohmy: ) that works out at $3400 just in filters!

Of course, at the rates of km I ride that works out to nearly 20 years of riding… That seems reasonable to me! Love my tight single track riding… 500km between oil changes takes a long time at 80-100km per ride!

But… Damn, it ain’t cheap riding bikes!

[ChrisMember]

For the $23.00 odd bucks it costs to change oil I’ll continue doing mine every 300kms (still every 3 rides at 80-100 a go) but if I can get it cheaper then it may only be 20.00 per change.

Really now that I look at it there probably isn’t that much savings to be had by buying in bulk especially when you also consider storage, how long it will sit around for etc etc. Maybe a 10 Litre will do

And ECKS you still have to much time!

Chris.
