Oil "Bible" - THe Growler
Some good while ago there was a link to an excellent site that laid bare the mysteries of lubricating oils in lay terms. I can't find it with "search" - can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

As you say Growler et al, an excellent site. Also well worth reading the section on Engine Oil Additives (cribbed from Road Rider) which certainly seems to explode a few myths...

Whatever, search didn't work for me. Anyway, many thanks to all concerned. My local biker forum is in animated discussion on this topic (mainly which of the proliferating brands of super-gloop they should inflict on their prides and joys) and this will be very useful.

I couldnt access the site www.fernblatt.com/longhurst either and the redirected link didnt work. And nor did www.chris-longhurst.com which is stated to be the home site. My search engines (All the Web and Google) only found the above sites and not the re-directed site. Have to forget that suggestion unless someone whose redirected link DOES work would be kind enough to post the correct site address.Thanks.

I know Chris Longhurst has been having some problems with his sites lately. Just keep trying them.
