opti owners...make sure you have enough oil to last you til late august

[Hugh Jardon]

i dont want anyone caught out.........and not be able to use their boat

i have ordered up 33 gals of opti oil and it seems we have cleaned out barrus so they dont have any more until some time in august, apparently!

so make sure you have sufficient oil supplies to allow you to do your boating this summer without being possibly grounded due to any shortages.

also apparently it may go up by 23% from august due to the world oil prices.

this is information i am told but wanted to pass it on to save folks getting caught out.

if the price goes down in august i will be cussing!

probably would be but i checked with barrus and they are not happy for me to use shares instead of opti oil, so will stick with the lovely slippery stuff!!

yes i had reminded some folks on another thread but not mentioned here,

what in your/barrus view is the difference between premium plus and dfi/opti oil

i am told the dfi has a higher synthetic content so slightly better although premium plus will perform 100%

any views??

More worrisome is why the feck can't barrus sort themselves out and manage their stock effectively.

The price they charge they do
even a bit of panic buying generated

my local dealer is still selling a case of three for £82.50
and two cases for £ 77.88 per case
or they we're last week if they have any left
