I think this is the cheapest I've seen the Castrol Edge 5W-30 oil ever.
Repco has it for sale this Friday 9th and Saturday 10th December for $49.99 for 10 Litres! http://catalogues.repco.com.au/catal...html#pageNo=12 Good luck. |

I've got a couple of 5 lt containers of this. I haven't started using the castrol yet, but just now noticed that the api rating of this oil is "sl", as opposed to some of the other oils out there being "sn" graded. Does anyone reckon there's much difference?

I have to add two litres of oil over 10,000km when using the Edge 5W-30, whereas over the same interval using the Penrite 5W-40 equivalent (with BMW LL-01 approval), I don't add any. Seeing as my oil change intervals are 10,000km, I define that as "doesn't like".

protection. The worry is that the higher phosphorus levels of this oil can void new car warranty because this oil may damage cat converters. Sm & Sn have reduced phosphorus levels to comply to oem specs & are cat converter friendly afaik. If you don't have any warranty issues, I think you will be safe to use it, good luck!! cheer's, Maka

Some oils have API SN/CF, if Im correct the API SN part is for petrol engines, and the API CF is for diesel engines. |

Just had a look at the repco site: http://www.repco.com.au/ and its says 40% off castrol lubes and oils this weekend only Sat 17th and Sun 18th December. This is massive, hoping it applies to castrol transmax TQ95 oil too. Castrol edge 0W-40 and 10W-60 will be popular if this discount applies to them... What a week for oil sales.... |

Just got myself 5 bottles of the TQ-95 in the 4L bottles for $30.60 each. Best price I've seen, but had to go to 3 stores in Geelong to get them! I can confirm theres none left in Geelong Repco's this weekend!
