Question Oil Suppliers in Scotland

I'm looking for Motul oil. Are there any suppliers in the central region? I've done a search and could not find any.
My other alternative is Castrol RS 10/60, which i think should be easy enough to find in Halfords or one of the other rip-off merchants.

Thanks...John

Castrol Oils can be bought over the phone : look here -
http://www.castrolclassicoils.co.uk/engine.htm
Free delivery for orders over £30 - buying 4 litres + a 1 litre will tip it over that.
Prices far better than Halfords and delivery in a few days in my experience.

Yes but hopefully you mean the motorsport mobile 1 (15W50) and not just mobil 1 (0W40). I have never seen the motorsport one in costco.

Try mixing crisp and dry with some olive oil, a bit of pepper and some hydrochloric acid - that should do the job.

Or you could run it on Slick 50 - according to the manufacturer you can run you engine with no oil and only 500ml of this stuff for weeks without it blowing up.

Probably the short answer is I don't know?!? Check Swifts because they were sorting out an oil supplier.
