Pro R and Pro S are arguably the best oils i have EVER used in a YB. Period.

I prefer the S for cold starts though, seems to keep them that little quieter.

Cheers yet again Stu, ill be sticking with my Silkolene then....

Its a shame that Fuchs have taken over and no longer produde the oil at the Belper factory which is now closed and being turned into flats.

I live in Belper you see and allways used to be able to go and see my mate who worked on the factory shop counter and get stupidly cheap deals on oil.

I used to pay around Ł20 for 10x 1 litre bottles that would cost Ł9 quid per litre in a box that had a slight tear or a dinted bottle in it.

Bet he would of been able to get Pro-R and Pro-S
