Very cheap full synthetic oil, one of the cheapest 5L bottles available. 53% off RRP $74.99. Works with most models of the OzBargainer favourite Camry.
API SP, ILSAC GF-6A, and other GM and Ford certifications.
Compatibility tip: API ratings are compatible with anything equal to or higher in the alphabet from your logbook/manual specification. E.g. if your car needs API SN, it will work with SP.
Price beat at SCA to get it for $34.49.
Nulon Apex+ 5W-30 EURO is on sale for $49.99 for VW owners.
Your VAG 5w-30 from Nulon is not this one but that one -> https://www.nulon.com.au/products/engine-oils/apex-plus/apx5… There is a reason why your VAG is not listed in there, only use VAG approved oil.
if it is diesel, better to use an oil that meets VW 505.01 specs (not 505.00), e.g. Penrite enviro + 5w-40.
this sounds weird lol
Not weird, 5W-30 VW 504.00/507.00 petrol and diesel respectively. However, 505.01 diesel (5w-40) superior to 507.00 diesel (5w-30).
I don't think you're the only one who had a chuckle over this conversation about VAG oil.
My car use 5W-30 Euro.
There was one time I change to this Apex+ oil, thinking it just same 5W-30 with marketing gimmick (it doesn't listed compatible with my car). My car feels like it doesn't have enough power uphill, and constanly lost power on freeway on 90kmh.
All back to normal after using the correct oil.
You do realise engine oils don’t act like fuels.
You didn’t lose power because of the wrong engine oil grade.
I am not car savvy, I don't know how to describe it. The power not totaly lost. But feel like half hitting clutch on manual.
@yaozy: Ok thanks. O2 sensor was always issue on my car, so prob just happen to be really bad when I switch to different oil.
Definition of placebo
I really hope so, the price different is quite significant. Even with current discount.
Is it a Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon by chance?
Nah, it a peugeot.
@Headless: Thats always my issue. I clean up the sensors every week or two and replace it every year, learn from youtube to save some $ on mechanic. Its been good car, just the oxygen faulty that been annoying.
Awesome. Covid pricing officially gone, back to $35 on special for a decent 5L.
Try telling the supermarkets that covid pricing is officially gone .
You didnt buy oil before Covid obviously.
Good oil
Nice
slurp slurp
strange， both repco and autobarn say this oil fit my car (2014 mazda cx5) but supercheaps said this is NOT fit my car……it happens several time…
Check your manual
Results are not accurate for my car. I've been using the one in this deal almost exclusively for a few years, no issues.
The oil checkers on these websites aren’t very accurate. Check the owners manual and that the grade and specs match.
I use this oil in my Mazda 6 which has the same engine as your Mazda cx-5. This is the best oil I have ever used in my Mazda, I have also tried Valvoline and Penrite. The engine is way quieter when I use Nulon.
Yeah no. Unless the other oils you used were the completely wrong oil, you cannot hear any difference in engine noise when changing oil brand to another that meets the same specification lol. It's either placebo or you're just remembering incorrectly.
great oil. been using penrite for years, but they are really expensive now. switched to nulon the last few service and they are equally good if not better. would recommend.
I just bought penrite gf-s which is a direct competitor to the one mentioned in the OP for about the same price.
You just have to wait for it to go on special. It was near this price pretty much for the last 3 months. The most recent one I bought in store mid September for $37.
Good deal but nothing will ever compare to this baby:

My Ozbargain experience peaked there. There's no high like that again.
Never understood why synthetic oil is better than, what I assume is referred to as organic oil?
referred to as organic oil
It’s often referred to as mineral oil or dino (the joke being it’s made from dinosaurs) oil.
Synth typically resists heat and shearing better than dino, allowing for a longer oil change interval.
Oils ain't oils.
Is supercheap easy to get a price beat for stuff like this or will they argue?
F*** SCA and their price beat…last time I tried to get them to beat Anaconda's price on an N70T they said they'll beat it by $1
I said "really?" and they said "goodbye!"
Anyone know if this oil can be used in the newer honda lawn mowers?
Checked other threads of this brand and no one commented on mower use.
Multi grade oils are designed to minimise wear on cold engine start ups. They flow better in the cold because they are made from thinner base oil with added viscosity improvers to resist thinning under operation temperature.
The cold flow property probably doesn't matter much in a lawn mower but the VI might shear in certain engine designs, resulting in a thinner than expected oil over time.
If in doubt, refer to your use manual, especially when the device is still under warranty. If not, I probably won't lose sleep on the type of oil I use in a lawn mower. YMMV.
Is there any reason if my VAG car oil spec isn't listed here but it takes 5w-30 there would be problems using this over one that does?
Have been buying only oils that list the VAG spec
