    that's a great price!

  • A Gulf + Western product

  • Which one is more suitable for Sydney. 10-30 or 15-40.?

    • Age of car, order thicker less chance of leaking through gaskets.

      • Sorry, let me ask again. :P
        Which type of oil is more suitable for Sydney weather?
        10W-30 or 15W-40 ?

        • Age of car, order thicker less chance of leaking through gaskets.

        • What’s the make/model/year?

        • I’d say 15W-40, given the warm temperate or subtropical climate. It’s not a cold climate.

        • Have a look in the car manual it'll normally show you what temperature ranges each oil works best in and what the manufacturer recommends.

  • Cheers op, lunch sorted.

  • Will it work in a fryer? Asking for friend

      • Well done

  • where do i check my tesla for what oil it takes

    • No need to check, extra virgin fits the descriptive

    • www.gulfwestern.com.au/lube-desk

      Put your model in and it will tell you what oil to put in your drive unit/s and also which coolant and brake fluid to use.

      • A rear drive unit fluid replacement is going to cost a heap more than $29 LOL.

  • Semi- Synthetic is how much Synthetic? Anything above 0?

      Synthetic isn't used in the right way with motor oils. The oils are all mineral oils extracted from the ground in the same way. The difference is synthetic oils are processed and treated in a certain way that makes them more resistant to changing their original properties, so even "full synthetic" is not made in a lab.

      Having said that, I have no idea what the difference in process is between semi and full. Engineering Explained on YouTube has done lots of videos on this if you are interested

      • Yeah, I asked exactly because I saw a video saying that basically, in cheap brands (like the subject) the synthetyc part is in the amount that is nearly non-present. While in the expensive brands' oils the synthetyc part may be significant. So this is just a marketing trick to sell a regular cheap oil inclining that it is semi-synthetyc while in reality it is not. So this is not a deal, you get what you pay for. Unless, there is some valid information on the amount of the synthetyc component.

      • Speaking of properties, I noticed myself that semi- and fully mineral oils get little bits of orange after driving during heatwaves. Now I am having Gulf Western full synthetic, and it didn't get any visible differences after driving in similar conditions. But I started hearing pshssss for a second when I shut down the engine (no, it is not from the coolant bottle or radiator)

  • Recommend 5w 30w, can I use this?
