It's $11.50 individually. However, all the other oil prices seem to have dropped off a bit.
Ya that's the std. stuff...the synth. is $20/gal or so now. Ugh.

If anyone is interested in learning about oil, the article linked below is an excellent primer.

Lightbulb Rotela T oil

I will put my two cents in here, I know alittle bit about diesel oil. I know of several trucks that use this oil and never have changed it. It must be good as a oil, they have 500,000 miles up to 1,000,000 miles on there trucks with no oil change. The trucks are still running good. As long as you have a good filter to filter out the dirt. Rotela T oil is a good thing. I haven't used it in my bike, but after reading this I just might try it next time.

HAHA... They must be brothers or something... (I think steve is partial to him because of it, too)

Although.... They are gonna become decidedly less "buddy buddy" if steve wakes up to find Indy behind his couch...

I originally thought Rimula also, sprock, as that is the big non N.A. brand.
Website didn't list it as going to the UK, but it's definately there.
