This Mobil Super 3000 synthetic is new to me, looks like you can get them in the new AMPOL (previously Caltex) fuel stations in Australia.

Here is a like to the Mobil Australia page

Looking at the Formula V and Formula G above, looks to me like the V is for VW and is more PAO based, while the G is for GM and is more Group-III based.

They also have:
- Formula D1 5W30 which is API SP, ILSAC GF-6A and Dexos1-Gen2.
KV100 = 10.9 cSt, PP = -45C.
- X1 Formula FE which is API SL (due to high ZDDP, but meets SN engine test requirements), Ford M2C913-D, ACEA A5/B5.
KV100 = 9.8 cSt, SA = 0.8% (? I expected higher?), PP = -39C.
- X2 All-In-One 5W40, which is API SN, ACEA A3/B4, MB 229.3, VW 502/505, Porsche A40.
KV100 = 14 cSt, SA = 1%, PP = -42C,

FWIW:
I got some 5w30 Castrol edge on sale a while back $35 for 5L, running it in the NX Pajero, was running 10W40 Penrite full syn. I'm seeing better fuel economy on the first tank over the Penrite.

SR you beat me to the punch on the Nulon 10w40. Good oil finally at the right price. I can see 40L+ going into my stash....🙄
TBN 11.3
I had used this oil in the past extensively, in a Ford Barra engine. I rate it over their full syn.... esp. @ $20 for 5L

Yeah, that's a good price and worth stocking up on.

Been a while since anyone has posted here.

Penrite Racing 5w30 (Group IV/V) $56 for 5L at Repco.

Very good price considering these are now going for on or around $100/5L these days.

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?

Cooper Oil Filters (Z9, Z79, Z154, Z386, Z411, Z418, Z436)

The two deals above will give you a $23 oil & filter change.

API SP, ACEA C3, MB 229.52
KV100 = 11.7 cSt, SA = 0.78%, Zn = 820 ppm, TBN = 7.8
$99 for 10L (save $45).

Look at those two Sulphated Ash levels, the full SAPS (A3) oil is close to the bottom of the range, while the mid-SAPS (C3) oil is close to the top of the range. Only 0.12% between them.
 
At SCA in Australia, 3rd to 13th November.

Looking for a last minute Christmas present ?

Repco has Penrite HPR-5 (5W40) full synthetic at 40% off, it's $47 for 5L.
Rated API SP and Euro ACEA A3/B4, with 1240 ppm of Zinc and a TBN of 10.4, with a KV100 = 14.4 cSt.
 
At AutoBarn in Australia, until 19th January 2023.

20% Off Mobil 1 full synthetic oils.

M1 0W40 FS (ACEA A3/B4, Porsche A40, MB 229.5)
all $80 for 5L. Not a great price but often as good as it gets for M1 oils in Oz.

20% off Castrol ACTIV 4T 15W50 mineral 4-stroke motorcycle oil.
API SL, JASO MA2, KV100 = 19.1 cSt, HTHS = 4.1 cP,
It's $40 for 4 L. Not a great price but it's hard to get MC oil on sale.

Also 20% of Cooper air and oil filters, plus many other oils.
 
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 😉
