Shame. This is the catch. Mine doesn't need a "recharge" that soon. Although, at $170 it might still be worthwhile to get one put aside for…

markwid replied to yht on Nulon Full Synthetic 5W-30 Long Life Engine Oil 5L $24.99 (Was $64.99) @ Autobarn
Castrol Edge is a top tier brand and from experience, it has been good. No reason to change now, even if Nulon is a little cheaper.

MR16 is 12V. The mains is 240V, so will have transformer to step down from 240V to 12V. GU10 is 240V.
