BACK IN THE GAME
Oct 18th
Back in the fifties and sixties, Duckhams 20w-50 was the engine oil of choice. It was the world’s first multigrade oil that could be used all year round so that there was no need to change from summer to winter grade oils.
Now the legendary green oil is back, with a few improvements on the original 1956 version. It now conforms to API, SE, SF, SG, SH and SJ specifications and is ideal for any classic that requires a 20w-50 oil rather than the modern lighter grades.
It can be used confidently in any engine that was originally recommended to use Duckhams More >

MARLIN EXi STILL SUPER ‘SEXY’!
Oct 11th
Although it’s never really been away, Marlin’s excellent EXi has been enjoying good sales of late and has been re-launched. There’s also a slight change of name from ‘5EXi’ to ‘EXi’.
The Devon-based company, run by Terry Matthews, has been concentrating on their BMW diesel-powered Sportster model in recent months, but have now turned their attention to the EXi, once more.

These days, Marlin concentrate solely More >
