I think there’s something very reassuring for old dinosaurs like me about those classic yellow Duckhams oil cans. Who remembers the TV ads from the seventies?

The iconic green-tinged engine oil has never really gone away but hasn’t always been promoted by previous owners but it is enjoying a renaissance at the moment.

Their 20w50 multigrade, SAE30 and SAE40 lubricants retain that distinctive colouring but the product has been improved but the blurb I received told me that modern manufacturing techniques have enhanced Duckham’s oils.

The yellow metal cans have been retained with 5-litre cans starting at £29.99 inc VAT with more from www.duckhams.com ENDS.
