i service a lot of reels and get through a fair amount of oil and grease.
Getting large tubs of grease is easy but i cannot find large size bottles
of oil. I can get WD40 in large containers as well as 3in1 and light machine oil
but these types of oil are not really the best type to use unless its for the
handle
A one pint or 250ml size would be great but every one i have seen are dinky
little bottles which dont last 5 minutes.
Does anyone knowwhere i can get large bottle from and what oil is it.
I would like a UK supplier if possible

Fred, had a post once with a 4 to 5 litre container he was using, when applying oil I use a serynge n needle, very  little waste that way, good luck, cheers Don.

Yeah, I have a feeling that's a gallon Fred's been dipping into off and on for 10 or 15 years. I don't think you can even buy it like that anymore. At least I can't find it available with that name & container.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Fred's WRL191S is really good oil. I purchase it from Jaymor's up in Fresno. I'll need to search a bit to find them. I don't buy it by the gallon but I get it in aerosol cans. I then transfer it to pen oilers as needed. A little bit goes a long way. Here you go: www.jaymors.com
