I need to change the coolant on my mill as it's now somewhat old and rather unpleasant. I've decide to go for a semi-synthetic and Castrol Hysol Excel looks a good bet as it's available in 5L cans. I've asked Castrol where to buy it retail but they've come back with Farnell and AT Toolcentres; AT are trade only and the Farnell company is Buck and Hickman who stipulate they will not sell to end users, somewhat annoying as I have a Farnell-CPC account but they don't keep industrial coolants. J&L only sell 25L packs which would probably last me several lifetimes! Anyone know a friendly reseller who would keep the 5L packs, preferably in the North Herts, Beds, Cambs area? Martin
