Castrol Super Chainsaw Oil - Where???

Postby Paul_Meanwell » Tue Mar 29, 2011 2:03 pm

Hi all,

I'm in the Benoni area, and all my regular suppliers seem to have dried up!

Can anyone tell me where to find this stuff in my area?

Thanks guys!

Paul.

I guess not all Builders are the same. The one here by Northgate has plenty :shock:

Castrol's main JHB depot is in Edenvale (somewhere around there). Best price around.

Hi all,

Excuse my ignorance, but would u use this oil instead on normal 2 stroke? If so what is the reason?

I know of a few 503's that have way over 2000 hours on that have run only on chainsaw. No rebuilds no stopages no decokes.

Speak to the training schools in Gauteng.
