Ecosse Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hello All, Does anyone know what the situation is with regard to Duckhams. I have tried to source Duckhams 20/50 locally, Stirling area, but to no avail and despite several attempts I have not had any response from Duckhams themselves. Duckhams appears to be available on Amazon and Ebay, but I have concerns that some of the stuff advertised may be 'Knock-Off'. Any thoughts for the next best preference to Duckhams. Thanks.

RogerH Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hi Cliff, rumour as it that Halfords 20/50 Classic oil is made by Duckhams. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Collins Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Halfords 20/50 is certainly green and smells as I remember Duckhams did. I've been using it for years with no noticeable problems. Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynchpin Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Hi Been using Comma Classic 20/50 (used to be called Morris's or Morrison's, can't find an old tin) for 16yrs in the tr with no problems, it comes in a cream coloured tin with a picture of a Mini Cooper on it, looks and smells like Duckhams, I buy it from my local motor factor who also supplies filters plugs etc..

monty Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 I use Classic Oils Heritage 20/50 which has a good lead content & has been fine for the past 5 years or so since switching from Millers which was getting expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ecosse Posted July 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Good Morning All, Many thanks to everyone who have taken the time to respond with their thoughts. It appears that Duckhams is available online via Opie Oils, I shall be purchasing 40 Litres for the fleet, a tad more expensive than it used to be, but at least delivery is free. Thanks again. Regards, Cliff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Currently running their mineral 20/50 in the 4A as I wanted to give it a few more miles on the engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
