Of course it's meaningful, viscosity is arguably the most important property of an engine oil. You don't like being wrong, do you?

Reading bobistheoilguy didn't do you much good it seems... Per SAE J300, a 30 grade oil can range from 9.3 to 12.5 cSt at 100 degrees, a…

The 5W40 is going to have more viscosity index improvers in it compared to the 10W40. These VIIs get crushed up in a motorcycle gearbox, so…

Good point. Me personally I'd be more inclined to HPR5 for most cars, however the 10w40 would be better for motorcycles and any air cooled…

The additive packages will be different and most likely favouring the HPR5. The HPR has more manufacturer approvals for what it's worth.…

You're comparing lithium to AGM. This is a good price for what you get.

Not so, the API has limits on additives for certain oil grades. From Penrite website: *When API SM was introduced - for the first time, the…

It's sound logic and I've often thought the same, but hard to know for sure and with a Euro engine I'd be a little wary of deviating from…

Castrol Edge 5w40 is at least 3.5, as this is a requirement of the approvals that it carries (such as A3/B4). While the specs of the Gulf…
23/08/2023 - 11:50
Only reason for the SL rating on Castrol edge is due to it exceeding certain additive limits that an SM or SN rating imposes. It would be a…

Lowest ever recorded temp in Tas is -14.2 This oil is good to go

The bottle says synthetic on both sides, description says semi-synthetic. Perhaps the description hasn't been updated?
18/07/2023 - 19:08
For anyone on the fence this is very similar to the usual favourite Edge 5w30, has the same manufacturers approvals (and then some) and is…

Got a link please? Couldn't find it on their website.

It actually doesn't make much difference. An empty fridge will have more rapid temperature fluctuations as there is no food to act as a…

I think there's only one way to look at it, it is a 109% performance increase. You said yourself earlier that he would have to sell his…

Think you've got your wires crossed there. Post above you is right, 1080 is faster, let alone 1080ti.

Awesome. Have gotten good use out of the 18v pole saw and hedge trimmer but always wanted a bit more power so time for an upgrade. Thank…

Confirming it's 5 litres, I picked up a couple of bottles to 28 bucks each yesterday.

Is there something inherent to lawn mower engines that cause them to shear oil? I see this mentioned a lot but can't figure out why.
28/09/2021 - 06:06
I've got both, they do not fit.
26/08/2021 - 17:49
Nice deal OP, but how are you getting free shipping? Showing $17.50 for me.
24/08/2021 - 10:58
Not sure why you're getting negged - that's exactly what these things do. I tried one of the idrive units (very similar to this deal)…

Went to order and got slugged with a $47.20 shipping charge to regional VIC. Even without discount codes eBay is cheaper. Thanks for the…

Very carefully! My helmet has fairly decent ear pockets (most do these days I think), but I still have to pull the opening apart with the…

Have these and really like them, nice deal OP. Noise cancelling works very well, I use them as motorcycle earplugs and they do a far better…

Can confirm. Cracking deal OP!
