I'm coming up on my 2nd oil change on my stockish 34. I've used Royal Purple in all changes, in all cars prior. But I would like to give Gulf Western Syn X 6000 or Motul 8100 X-Cess a go. Cheapest I've found for what you are interested in are...

Royal Purple HPS: $70/5 quarts (4.73L) from performanceclub.com

Motul 8100 X-Cess: $75.99/5L from justjap.co

EDIT: Also, just stumbled across this; If you're a member of RACQ, you get 20% off prices store-wide in Repco until the end of February. So go get some stuff. Or get your mum to. lol

For Those of you using Royal Purple, this might be of interest.

And

that works out @ $56.30AUD per 4.7L and you will get 4 changes from the 5 Gal.

Not bad a all.

If you run Motul, my local Repco is clearing it out and replacing it with Gulf Western. Not sure if its the other stores too?

I've noticed no difference between the Valvoline semi synth I was using and the Motul 300v I dropped in at the last change. I have one more change worth of 300v then I'll be trying the new Gulf Western Syn X 6000, as by then I should be on e85.

add 100 for shipping and tax... still works out cheaper though

I'm pretty sure that figure I quoted was for the 10-40W and included shipping,

Add some to you cart and begin the checkout process and see what you get.

Strange, my cart came up with $133 + $100.60 for 6-18 dat shipping?

It ticks while cold, goes away at operating temperature in a few minutes. No knocking (thank goodness). A lot of the guys here in the forums use 40w while I have been using 30w for almost all of my cars so I am wondering if I should stick with 40w. Thanks :thumbsup:

On the topic :)

Maybe stick with the cheaper one of the two? Both are great oils and with regular oil change, there won't much difference between the two I think tbh.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
