Dear Norton Forum Members,
I just moved to Sweden from the UK with my family and four 70's vintage British OHV four stroke motorbikes, one of which is an 850 Commando. Being winter and all I thought I could use this down time to begin finding useful suppliers of various tools and parts to keep both my bikes and a 67 Land Rover running. What I am having trouble finding is a reputable supplier of suitable oils. From my long history of club memberships in the US and UK I know when it comes to the question of "which oil to use?" the topic is well covered and opinions differ. I respect that. However, having only recently arrived, and regrettably unable to read/speak Swedish (I apologise for writing in English) I am challenged to find a supplier who can provide in bulk quantities a decent 20w50 weight, high ZDDP, wet clutch compliant, motor oil. After only a few hours perusing the internet I have come to learn that the commercial offerings of by the many oil producers -brand/type/weights/specifications here in Sweden are more limited, and that is understandable considering the market. BTW, by bulk I mean in quantities larger than a quart/liter, ideally 20 liters. Also, I am not opposed to using an additive for the extra zinc if needs be. So I am curious to know what other members use, and from where they purchase their supply.
My guess is this is not a new topic, so instead of bringing up the subject again in a new thread I would be thoroughly satisfied with a link to those previous forum discussions on topic of oil selections in Sweden.
Sincerely,

PS. Once again, I apologise for writing in English.
