Valvoline 10W30 Semi-Synthetic Engine Armour Oil, API SP and ILSAC GF-5 GF-6A for $15/4L PDS...

Good discount but the spec are pretty avg with only API SN, GF5 and Dexos1. If only Nulon comes with VW 504/507, Porsche A30 or MB 229.51 would be good. I'm using this oil spec tool as a guide. https://online.lubrizol.com/relperftool/pc.html

Gulf Western Syn-X 5000 5w40 for $17.99/5L SN/CF, ACEA A3/B3/B4, MB-Approval 229.5, RN 700/710, VW 502/505, PSA B71-2300 https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Oils-%26-Additives/Engine-Oils/Synthetic/GULF-WESTERN-OIL-SYN-X-5000-5W-40-5L/p/OA04475

Bought it when it's on sale 1 or 2yr ago at United Filter Boronia. They carry a large range of Baldwin oil filters too. https://www.facebook.com/lubegistics/

$30 for 20L Delvac 10w30 CI-4 is still the best deal i ever score. Have to keep waiting for the next.

I like Gulf Western BlackTak 5% molyplex grease. 1 tube last forever. has been in my Territory lower balljoint after i swap it years ago. 800kg 4-ball EP weld point compare to the normal 200kg. http://www.gulfwestern.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Black-Tak-Molyplex-40052-1.pdf

My oil stash is getting bigger and bigger o_O. 20L Delvac 10w30 CI-4, 10L Castrol Edge 5w30 A3/B3, 10L Castrol Diesel 0w40 C3 and now another 10L of GW 10w30 API SP.

That is fantastic price, i'm contemplating if i should buy 2 Castrol diesel 0w40 or Havoline 0w30 C2. I have 20L of Delvac CI-4 10w30 and 10L of Castrol 5w30 A3/B3 at home already.

What do you think about this product? http://www.gulfwestern.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Black-Tak-Molyplex-40052-1.pdf

I used 3% molygrease on my 13 yr old Mitsubishi 380 ball joint, i reckon having grease is better than no grease since the boot look so deflated.

Score the exact Delvac 10w30 CI-4 for $30 per 20L pail at my local part store, grab 2 pail, will probably last me 2-3yr at least.

Both my Territory and 380 runs so much better with RP in term of response, smoothness and fuel consumption, tried Penrite once and don't like it, will still stick with RP.

PU 5w30 have a low NOACK of 6.6% http://www.pqiamerica.com/March2013PCMO/consolidatedpagefinl.html?utm_source=March+5%2C+2013&utm_campaign=March+3%2C2013&utm_medium=email

I suppose they have factor in their "shear rate" so by 10k km, it would have shear from 5w40 to 5w30.

Mobil 5w40 ESP are designed to go 13k mile(MB 229.51), not exactly 15k like Mobil 5w30 EP but it's not short drain either.

I don't quite understand what he mean by “load carrying capacity/film strength" PSI rating? isn't the amount of hydrodynamic wedge = to the viscosity used? If that is true, then why PU 5w30 have a higher PSI rating(115.6k PSI) compare to SHELL ROTELLA T6, 5W40(67.8k PSI)?

I would go 5w30 instead, petrol here are not exactly cheap now at $1.35/L avg.

I would choose Mobil 1 0w40 if it's gotta run in your Corvette.

I think a couple of run with PU 5w30 would do the trick of cleaning it up, the varnish looks pretty bad.
