Engine oil query but not your usual.

instead of buying oil in the usual 5 litre containers, does anyone know if it's possible to buy larger volume containers (eg. 20 litres or more) from ECP or GSF? I can't seem to find the option but perhaps others can. Ta.

Open oil drums will degrade before you would use it fast enough, unless of course you are leaking oil

Not convinced of that. 20 litres would last me 18 months'ish.

I used to buy 25 litre drums direct from Morris.
Oil does not degraded unless you are storing it for more than 3 years and even then it would have to be an open container.

7 litres for the boat engine, 4.5 litres for each of 3 vehicles comes to more than the 20 litres so it isn't enough! 25 litre ones would do the job.

Does it have to be from ECP/GSF?
Opie do 20l containers, as do many other people.
