Albury store sold out of 5w-30, still a few bottles of 5w-40 left over. People were banging on the door at 8.10 even though the door clearly says 8.30

Good job, I did the same then sent my two boys in (8 & 14yrs) to by "their" oil

Chick behind the counter thought it was funny, manager frowned a bit

Found this strange. I'm sticking to the 10w-40. Running LPG the 5w-30 would especially not be recommended.

When the Shell 10w-40 goes on sale everyone grabs them all before I have time to get in and grab some!
I dont believe the Mobil Tech. In summer my oil pressure gauge is always a fair bit lower than in winter.

Don't believe Mobil Tech???

If you're using the recommended oil & the vehicles cooling system is in good order (heat transfer, thermostat operation), oil temperature should be pretty much the same all year round; taking into account the time it takes the engine to reach normal operation temperature & road use only.

Read this great article, shared by one of the other guys on here - http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/motor-oil-101/

Needed more oil, and decided to try a semi syn oil in the form of Castrol Magnatec 10W-40. Seems fine so far and car starts the same as the edge 5W-30.

On sale for $19.99 at autobarn and $18.99 at supercheap for 5L bottle. Stock up if you want.

This thread is about where to buy oil at a reduced price.

If you know where and when a store has oil at a reduced price feel free to add to the thread, otherwise don't bother posting.

Not using it for Barra, I am going to use it in AU I6. Most oil Co.s recommend 10w-30 10w-40 for the AU six.
