Title: synta silver???
Post by: rowlers on 05 April 2007, 20:18: whats the crack with recent price hike (Ã‚£25ish for 5ltr) I've heard about?? I've read that GSF have stopped stocking it but they are offering a FUCHS 10/40 (titan?) instead.

Anyone confirm what gives???

Another oil needed???? :huh:
