Much better then I thought. I thought 0w-40 was around 10% [ April 24, 2003, 08:23 PM: Message edited by: buster ]

Have not seen the 5W stuff . I wonder where it is available ?

Al, If I was a betting man, I'd say the 5w-50 was available in New Zealand ... TooSlick

5W50 is the only M1 you see here unless you go to a distributor where 10W30 and 0W40 are available. I wish we had the 15W50 version instead.

For some reason this page http://www.mobil.co.nz/pr_guide/start_pg.html lists the 0w40 with slightly different specs. Typical Properties

I just figured out that the specs I posted above are from July 1996. The links in the first post say 2002. Sorry. [ April 26, 2003, 11:59 AM: Message edited by: jjbula ]
