squonk 39,124 #2 Posted May 2, 2013 I don't know what brands you have over at the other side of the lake Lars, but If you could I would use Mobil 1 10W-30 and a OEM Toro filter or a Napa 1410 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wheeledhorseman 573 #4 Posted May 2, 2013 Lars, have you tried the Toro agent in Norway? Hako Ground & Garden As. Verkseier Furulunds vei 13 Oslo, N-0668 Norway Main Fax +47 22 90 7770 Main Phone +47 22 90 7760 Fax - Parts & Service +47 22 32 1514 Email hako@hako.no It could work out cheaper and it would be OEM. If all else fails then I could get one on my next Toro order here in the UK and send it to you but if it has to be ordered it could take some time.

squonk 39,124 #8 Posted May 4, 2013 I don't see why I couldn't send you a 1410 Napa filter for less than that. Are those prices American $$$$? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouty56 565 #10 Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I don't see why I couldn't send you a 1410 Napa filter for less than that. Are those prices American $$$$? Might be surprised how much it costs....I sent a small flat rate box...which is pretty little....costs about 25 bucks....next flat rate jumps to 40 and a couple cents. That would be where this falls. would be still less than fifty but pretty pricey. But you could send a bunch of other stuff in the box too..... Max. length 60", max. length plus girth combined 108"......$40.55 Edited May 4, 2013 by Trouty56 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #11 Posted May 17, 2013 Anymore, if a business doesn't have next to a corporate rate with FedEx, UPS or DHL, their shipping costs by air are outrageous. (Plus they need to add a bit for their take). Small businesses don't ship enough to get top line discounts with parcel companies. If you really want to see high rates before my company's corporate discount, try sending haz-mat from the US to The Netherlands, Belgium or Germany. It's enough to make your eyes bleed looking at an invoice showing before and after discounts. No wonder a lot of companies refuse to ship overseas. It isn't prejudice or the hassles. It is purely the costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
