What were the part numbers for the oils? I have a mate who works at Repco and can get a good price.
If he can't help could I please get the contact details for Tenagah..

Cheers Mate

have u tried fuchs?

they are pretty good

im going to whack in 10w-30 for my 2zz-ge yes i know its not a rex engine but they make a 5w-40 variant called titan supersyn and its fully synthetic

european oils are better quality apparently, the cost of it is slightly cheaper than the mobil 1 5w-50

but if you want best of the best i think motul 300v chrono 10w-40 is the way to go or redline but its bloody expensive

As anyone used Valvoline Synpower 10w40 before? If so, any good? Can get hold of this stuff for a reasonable price.

Good luck with your bearings using 5w/40 Makoto.

Do yourself a favor a grab Motul Turbolight 4100 10w/40 for the same $45 price.

The motul turbolight stuff seems pretty reasonable to me but to tell you the truth i didnt notice any difference between the other oils (Mobil 1 and the Castrol R stuff) i've used. Car drove and felt the same, engine sounded and "felt" the same.

Most important thing is to use a good filter (dont go for the shit repco ones) and remember to change your oil often and any reasonably good "performance" oil will work!
