As a radiographer, don't be wasting public resources for a wrist you hurt 2 days ago. If your wrist was badly injured enough, you'd have…

PM'd mate.

For anyone wondering, this is a great oil. I run it in my 1997 Toyota MR2 and it keeps the engine nice and quiet. The fact it comes in 6L…

5w30 might be too thin for some older cars. 10w40 has its applications and for this price it's still a pretty awesome deal. It is fine to…

A lot of engines can also only accept the apple but not the orange. This deal is good for those who have cars that can only take 10w40.

Different cold performance, comparing apples to oranges here. $19 for a 10w40 semi synthetic oil is a decent deal regardless.

Doesn't really matter unless it meets vehicle specification and is changed at the correct service interval. It's also very uncommon for…

Don't even bother chasing performance with this junk. It's good for those who want their car stanced the way they like and nothing else.

I think this stuff works great. I like it more than Bowden's Own Tyre Sheen. It all comes down to how you use it.

For anyone who's interested, I have this set and it's awesome. Really good quality for the money. 1/4in is great for working in interiors…

Used today to buy Turtle Wax Snow Foam and 303 Interior Protectant. Winning.

Repco batteries are rebranded Century batteries. They're good batteries, so jump on it!

Depends on the interval. It's unlikely to make a difference up to 10,000km. Anything above this and I'd start to question about the…

This is a great oil for any older Commodores or Falcons. I ran it in my 3.8 Commodore sometimes and that had 351k on the odo before I let…

Much of a muchness. As long as it meets the specification of your car and it gets changed at the correct interval it makes absolutely no…

Nope, no oil analysis ever done. But it doesn't burn anything and even with 240k KMs it still runs strongly. It only gets driven 2000km a…

I use this oil in my 97 SW20. Works fine. Oil is oil, as long as it meets manufacturer specs it's fine to use. There's too much brand…

Much of a muchness really. As long as it meets the spec your car requires it's fine to use. The whole brand loyalty thing is so overblown…

Pretty much, it's no longer sealed.

Depends what oil you use. This oil is good for 10k KMs in most applications. Anything less is pretty much throwing your money away.

You're literally throwing money away if you drop this oil every 5k KMs. Full synthetic oils are good for a minimum 10k KMs for most…

The Titanium is the predecessor to the current Edge Synthetic. Looking at the PDS the newer Edge has better lower viscosity at 40 and 100…

Nothing wrong with this oil. It's fine to go in any car as long as it meets manufacturer specifications. I use this in my VT Commodore and…

It's been proven that the colour of the oil is a poor indicator of how healthy the oil is. Just because it's "black" doesn't mean it's…

They're both classified as full synthetic oils. API SN means it just has newer, better performing additives in the oil.

Castrol Edge is an API SN/CF oil in other viscosities. It's odd that the 5w30 is SL rated.

I believe the Valvoline XLD series is mineral oil as well as the Shell HX5. It will do the job if you're happy to run it at 5k intervals.…

[@bm](/comment/6358449/redir): The Magnatec for sale here is the full synthetic version. I believe it is the only one in the Magnatec range…
