Good deal @ Autobarn well spec'd diesel oil. 25L drums for $109. Picked up 2. Suits almost every thing I run. GULF WESTERN 15W40 XDO SPECIFICATIONS API CI-4/SL, ACEA E7-16, Volvo VDS-3, MACK EO-N, Cummins CES 20078/77/76, Caterpillar ECF-2, ZF TE-ML-02C/03A+04B/04C/07C, MAN 3275, Mercedes Benz...

The other fluids look like they have had their day too.

Well knock me over with a feather.... other than the filter material being a bit brittle, it was not what I expected. I think dear ol dad's memory isn't what it was. I think he did have it serviced and had forgotten! Long distance trips for the most part. The new oil still looks soot loaded...

Ok, I got a 08 Nissan Navara with a 2.5L turbo diesel 4x4 auto for my lads first car. Got it off my dad, who is pretty frugal, now in his 80's. Anyway it was due for an oil change @ 2019 and about 30,000 km ago! mostly long country runs (good onya dad! he said it could do with an oil change...

I liked the Nulon 5w30, still have a 6L jug.. Good oil IMHO.. Well worth picking up a few at that $

FWIW...The 10w30 Castrol is $34.79 @ Supercheap, members club price.. :)

FWIW: I think the hpr is still over priced. Penrite oils have been $ pumped too high pre discount. Unless they get sensible priced deals, I won't be buying them again. I found the fullsyn 10w40 to give my Pajero a sluggish rpm response, and minor increase in fuel consumption, relative to other...

Autobarn in store member special $18.99. Now that a better realistic price!🥹:cool: picked up 25L! now 25+15+45+15+5 +.... ok + more, so I have over 100L of oil! problem? what problem! :unsure::eek: VISCOSITY – 10W-40 SPECIFICATIONS • SAE 10W-40 • API SN/CF • ACEA A3/B3/B4 • MB 229.3 • VW...

Interesting... Nil in stock in Adelaide stores.. I have noticed that before actually FWIW.. This one is in Adelaide and $56.80 which is all it should be IMHO :D (all oil is to Exxy $$$) It is a good spec'd oil...

The Active 4T I found to be lacking in film strength. Find metal in the oil from the gear faces with this oil. YMMV. Might be alright in an air cooled stationary engine 🤔 if they gave it to me 😉

LOL, been awhile since we've seen any decent discounts! What I'm seeing lately (IMO) is obscene mark ups and then discounting down to what was near the old RRP :mad: makes their % discount look better.. maybe I'm just feeling cynical tonight?

My .02c... Seal kit for the master cylinder is required... Maybe the new brake fluid reacted with the old and played havoc with the seals :unsure: mmm on that note change out the calliper seals while your at it, not much $ there. But I'd try the master kit first.. Primarily my rationale for this...

Yeah I used gear oil..... worked well but you get the smell on the wood and you bring it inside and then the house stinks, or you get a bit of oil soaked chip on your fingers stoking the fire after wash up, so not good. As mentioned above clothes and shoes etc. as well. I went to motor oil...

FWIW: I went from 10W40 Penrite full syn: https://penriteoil.com.au/assets/pis_pdfs/VANTAGE%20FULL%20SYNTHETIC%2010W-40%20.pdf To Castrol Edge 5W30: https://www.castrol.com/en_au/australia/home/car-engine-oil/engine-oil-brands/castrol-edge/edge-product-page/castrol-edge.html#tab_5w-30-a3-b4 I...
