I would not use R in a scoot, it tends to produce very hard carbon deposits which can be a pain when you need to decoke ... are you looking at R30 or R40 ? but with Castrol R you cannot beat the smell

I would guess because its an American company. Maybe tariffs or maybe they dont think there will be a demand for it over in europe. That is a great question though. I didnt know that until today.

you can get it from here [Only registered can see links. ] but it's not on the shelves in general shops (like your shop having no Vodka ... doesn't come from this country but loads want it ). Given its name in the Uk it may be pronounced Am Soil rather than AMS Oil which may not help in its marketing .. rename it to 'Tesco's Value' and change the branding colours to blue & white stripes & I guess everyone would be using it

It's true that in most case it has to be ordered and shipped to other countries. If any of you would like me to find out how much it would be to ship it there, let me know where you are and I will get AMSOIL on the phone to find out if it would be worth shipping there.
