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.

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.

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