It may work well for a period of time though.

Even though Castrol recommend it ?
I've always used it and done over 100,000 k's.
Motor doesn't blow smoke or use a drop of oil

Thanks for the heads up graham_h used the last of my bottles last weekend time to stock up!

0W-40 Castrol in my FG, 200 000 km and no worries - regular 15000km changes

Yawn. For most things we get our hands on, an oil is a bloody oil. Go and ask taxi operators with over 600k on their sohc or barra falcon. They will give you over a dozen of brands and thicknesses with no ill effect. I guess you believe you pick up 20kw after oil & filter change?
As a diesel mechanic I've worked at two places that used Castrol dexron 15w-40. New Zealand Kenworth dealership with winter temps 0-10 degrees all day. And Nor West WA transport co 40-50 degrees in summer, on anything from a 3.0 Hilux to a 19 litre Cummins. No dramas (but must be doing it wrong after reading internet experts).

Castrol always seems to get very mixed opinions. I'll stick with Penrite HPR5.

Ford recommend 5W30 for the BF so I'm not sure what you're on about?

Exactly right. There's bugger all money in oil and Castrol are one of the worst to deal with.

graham_h · 31-05-2015, 07:03 PM

time to dig up an old thread, hopefully they'll do the same type of deal ?

Found this strange. I'm sticking to the 10w-40. Running LPG the 5w-30 would especially not be recommended.

When the Shell 10w-40 goes on sale everyone grabs them all before I have time to get in and grab some!

He is correct. Remembering of course M1 5W30 is a pretty thin 30W formulated more to the 20W end of the viscosity range for a 30W

Yeah hope so, down to my last oil change before I run out.

End of financial year sales hopefully....

graham_h · 26-09-2015, 07:01 PM

Happy Bathurst day catalogue

Pretty sure club members have access to this deal on Tuesday 29th from 3pm until 7.30pm. Not 100% sure as I didn't have time to read the flyer in its entirety.

graham_h · 26-09-2015, 07:59 PM

Yeah I reckon that's right

I buy Mobil 1 from the distributor in 5L jugs for $70. Worth looking into if you have a Mobil or Castrol distributor near by.

Well, I'm a Supercheap club member, so I walked into a Supercheap store today after 3.00 pm, and they would not sell the advertised 5litre 5w - 40 to me at the half price. They said it is only available on the Saturday as advertised to everyone. They advised to order it online at a stroke past midnight on Saturday, as if you leave it till early Saturday morning when they open the stores, the oil sells like hotcakes, and sells out fast.

Other items, in the Bathurst sale catalogue where available to club members today, but not the half price Castrol Edge.
The store was in Thomastown, Vic.

graham_h · 29-09-2015, 04:31 PM

right........ even though their ad says you can "shop" the Catalogue tonight......
I'll ring our local store and see what they say

graham_h · 29-09-2015, 04:35 PM

yup
Confirmed only Saturday..........I'll have to set the alarm !!

Saturday deal only, member or not.

arronm · 01-10-2015, 03:51 PM

That's strange. I bought two Tuesday evening. I wanted more but 2 limit $35 each. Went back yesterday and couldn't get more. Have wait to early sat morning. Luckily my boy also got me 2 on Tuesday

theunfairadvant · 02-10-2015, 02:30 AM

I used a brand called ULX110 10w40 and i change my oil every 40,000k without any problems at all.

Sure would like to see a UOA on your oil when you drop it!

graham_h · 02-10-2015, 07:15 AM

it'd be like tar by that point I'd reckon

$89 for 20ltr at repco
Now that's much better value

You talking about the 5W-30? Cos what I saw was it was $199 for the 20L in the repco cat...

arronm · 03-10-2015, 01:15 AM

Just ordered another 10 x 4L of the $35 5-40 castrol edge. May pickup a few more tomorrow. Sucks having to maintain 10 cars

oh bugger you're right
off to supercheap then
Two ordered online, grab the rest at pick up

Hell Cat · 03-10-2015, 07:57 AM

I ordered two 5w30 bottles and a 25w50 and paid with paypal online. (Club member)

it says order will be processed/picked within 4 business hours, so there is a risk of it selling out in store due to in store purchases before i get to pick it up.

Cant get there till 10am.

Yes. First world problems

Hell Cat · 03-10-2015, 08:33 AM

I was wrong.

Got an email at 830am sharp saying the order is ready for collection.
