Hey Kris, has this guy shutdown now?

I went into the store to pick mine up. $89.90 for 20L of Dello 400. Girls there said the online store is gone. Freight headaches and Caltex resellers getting upset with being undersold.

Have to say the GU seems to love the 400. Much quieter since the oil change.

I use castrol jmax in my truck (isuzu) and in my GQ. I get it for $65 20L but I buy 10 drums at a time (20L = 1 service on the truck).

Bummer, thanks for letting me know!

Hey AB how have you gone getting some oil ?

[philws]

Does anyone know a supplier for the delo 400 in melb?

Hi Boots and Phil, hopeless mate.

I have tried everywhere and had no success in Delo 400.

I can get it in smaller bottles and can get it at normal servos, etc or possibly even Repco, etc but they charge like a wounded bull.

If anyone finds a place down here then I would to know too!!!
