Hey any of you Mille (SL+RSV) Aprilia Owners know where I can get hold of some Putoline Oil? In particular London stockists would be ideal.

Need to top the bike up... I'm after Putoline Sport4 Semi Sythetic 10w40, I'm reliably informed that my bike is running on this.

Any help appreciated..

Scotty, I have Castrol GTS 10/40 that's the only oil I use since 98. Yes, I have tried others since but those Milles never feel the same

Don't mention Carbone Lorraine, Scotty.
I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

Hey! The Bendix, as recommended by pfm, are coming out shortly and I'm going back to the Carbon Lorraine's, the Bendix took way too long to bite in Sunday's downpore!

re the putoline, I shall soon be joining you on the same quest... PM, does the GTS come with a free clutch service?

You can hide but you can not run
Next you will be asking me to do overtime around Mayfair

Jorge, we had the conversation about oil last time I saw you... I've got some of the stuff you use sitting on my shelf at home.... as you and Paul said its not good to mix oils!!

So I need to top the oil up with the same stuff as used in my last service... since Dave has his bike serviced at the same dealer we both need the same oil - Putoline....

Bef - Carbone Lorraine.... no comment....other than I don't use em
Who wants a nice bedded in set for their bike? They're sitting at home doing nothing....

Hey Jorge, didn't mean to offend, I've just had enough of slipping crutches

Wassamatter you Sccotish git

The reason I use 10/40 and gps, is because they have never failed our clutches

....it was the gearbox and big-ends that broke instead
