Cheap source of JASO FC 2 Stroke Oil (Bulk)?

I need to replenish my stocks of 2T JASO FC oil - best VFM at the moment seems to be this at £50 for 20L

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303681441088 Powertech Super 2T Semi Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil 20LT

Anyone aware of anything else currently on sale please?

Thanks

Thanks, I did not ask for an opinion, just cheap oil.
Each to their own, I choose to use it and on several high mileage cars, which did 250k miles before I sold them and the engines were still going strong.
Thanks though for bumping the Post.

Interesting thanks. I used TSO in my old D3 for a while when it was thought to be of benefit - shan't bother again given this research. Thumbs Up

Patchouli oil - will discombobulate the greens.
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I was meaning shouldn't the 2SO be non-synthetic, so it doesn't cause problems with DPFs ?

I am non DPF..... so JASO FC semi-synth is usually cheapest.

tru dat ... but I'm sure that when I ran my 300tdi with 2SO, it was said then that it needed to be mineral. But that was a long time ago and
1. I could have misremembered
2. I can't find where I got that info from.

I do know that ASDA used to sell the stuff I needed but looks like they don't anymore so I can't check. Laughing

On the longest 2so thread on Martin’s forums it was a advised FB for non DPF, FC for DPF but not to use FD with a DPF due to being fully synthetic and leaving a residue, Yamaha Fan was quite informative on the topic when I was a frequent visitor few years back.
