    I have used GTX for a long time and buy on special at Supercheap whenever they have a 20% off sale. Generally buy 2 x 20lt for about $100 each.

    I picked up 20lt of Valvaline last week and will give that a try next.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Do you find that if you change oils, for at least he first 5000km after the change you use oil?
    Maybe this needs to be in a new thread but it is kind of linked to the question.

    Cheers

    I've used penrite since I brought it. Personal choice but a lot of guys here use delo.
