at a good or reasonable price? I normally use Castrol Magnatec Diesel as I get it at cost price so it works out cheap. While I find it good I want to try something different. Plus to see if the Provent catches more or less with different oils.
I'd rather buy in 20l drums as it works out cheaper but I don't really know of any Caltex resellers apart from the local Repco, SuperCheap etc etc.

Cheers.

Thanks fella's. I did do a search but obviously not a good one. The closest to me is not worth the drive over there. Would be $30 in fuel and more $$$ for my time for the trip. I might just go to my local and get torn a new one this time and get some if I'm ever out that way. Which is never....
Thanks.

Same boat as me mate, not worth the drive for the saving unfortunately.

Asked my local Caltex to bring in a drum and they said $140...lol

How does the delo 400 multigrage compare in quality as apose to magnatec or the penrite equivalent, as that price is nearly 50% off.

Well I used Castrol magnatec diesel and it was good. I'm due for a service and wanted to try this to see if my catch can catches more or less oil.

Tapout or knockout
