Mineral Oil for Essex boys (and girls)

[PeterWright]

For those forumites who like to stick to proper mineral oil, rather than synthetic, for their marine diesels, I found a good source in Maldon:

£14.99 for 5l. No connection except as an intended customer - don't nick it all before I get there tomorrow!

£14.99! I paid £2 from Tesco for 5L when they were clearing out old stock! :triumphant:

Probably passed it's sell by date.










By a couple of million years.

Take care with my recommendation above. The £14.99 price is for ordering on the internet and collecting. If you turn up at the shop it's £19.99!! Must make sense to someone.

DSC in Diss sells it - 15w/40 Mineral Diesel oil - from memory about the same cost for 5l.

Found something very similar the other week in a local motor factors, for a quid more I think. Noticing more choice in mineral oil available this last year or two.

Tesco's cheapest is mineral oil and suitable for older style diesels. That's what I use in my Volvo Penta 2003
