Thanks for the replies, I'm in Christchurch. All I seen for oil in the ads and in the stores is SN,SM no API I usually use a CJ or CI oil. Steve

Hello Gents, I just moved to New Zealand and I need to get some oil and filters for my 90 454 flat tappet engine. where can I get oil ratings for this country? The oil I have seen doesn't have a API rating. Should I just use a cheap fleet (diesel) oil? Thanks Steve

Thank You Mister Wiley

When using AV gas in a car don't you need to add some oil to it? And if so how much per gallon? I remember we use to put it in a race car and added some two stroke oil to it. Its been awhile. Thanks
