Skips replied to olympicwiz on Penrite Full Synthetic Engine Oil 6L: 10W-40 $51.59, 5W-30 $54.59 (Club Prices) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Supercheap Auto
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…

Skips replied to stumo on Penrite Full Synthetic Engine Oil 6L: 10W-40 $51.59, 5W-30 $54.59 (Club Prices) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Supercheap Auto
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…

Skips replied to Matt86 on Gulf Western 5W-30 Syn-X Plus Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5L $35.99 + Delivery ($0 C&C / in-store) @ Supercheap Auto
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…

Skips replied to Rakibul on Gulf Western 5W-30 Syn-X Plus Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5L $35.99 + Delivery ($0 C&C / in-store) @ Supercheap Auto
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…

The bottle says synthetic on both sides, description says semi-synthetic. Perhaps the description hasn't been updated?

Skips commented on Castrol EDGE Synthetic 5W-40 A3/B4 Engine Oil 5L $42 + $12 Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ Repco
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…

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…

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

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.
