Oh bull riding, I was way off with what I was thinking, Most oils from states OK.
But they have different conditions to us hey

Sorry Roofy ,,, no idea.
If you change oil every 5000 then synthetic might be a bit of an overkill.
Also check if its suitable for the 3l as does it meet the specs




..........on the move.

Is your engine a zd30 or a rb30 I can see if you said. The oils are not too bad but make sure it suits your engine, of its the zd you need to make sure it has the right addatives to reduce carbon buildup ect.
