Shell Aeroshell Fluid 2XN

Just putting feelers out, does anyone know of a source for this product at less than £20+vat a litre. At that price I would just look for more exotic engine oil instead of an additive.

Aeroshell Fluid 2XN is a corrosion preservative concentrate for protecting infrequently used engines. It uses an ashless anti-corrosion additive package and highly refined mineral based oils to protect internal engine surfaces from the effects of humidity.

Almost as good as riding every few days!

I ride very infrequently in the winter and had a pushrod 'jump' at the end of the (my) riding season. I didn't pull the head but all appears to be in order and no sign of damage apart from the banjaxed pushrod but wanted to introduce some precautions/
However, a friend of a friend has a light aircraft he stores at an airfield locally so fingers X'd I can obtain a litre or so there.
I am quite happy to kick motors through over winter but not a fan of starting up and heating through a standing machine.

If you use some good Mono grade oil, It tends to stick to the bits.
If it's lasted 70 years, You will be OK.

After seeing the dismal results in the oil testing of Aeroshell motor oil, it's a name brand I would avoid.

Glen = that is a disconcerting statement considering this product is aimed at aeronautical applications.
