call Harold from performancelub.com. I will PM you details, his place is in Fairfield or similar so not far from you.

Here is his website and products/prices.

He only has good oils, the Castol is both German Castol (0w30) and from the US for the 40wt. I always get redline from him. The M1 is from the US also, all are top shelf.

Everyone should be buying from him anyway cos its shit loads cheaper for the good stuff.

He runs the business fror his home and therefore is always there!

Cheers

hey all

thanks for the help i got some oil sorted -

im a stupid head and didnt realise the local servo would have some oil - shell premium 10w40 just cost me $70 though

for those who want a laugh

brought some new 10w40 turbolight 4100 and i dropped the sump bolt, get rid of the old oil, no worries

ripped off the old oil filter, got the new oil filter, rubbed some oil on the seal and put it onto the engine

little did i realise the old oil seal was still on the engine so when i fitted the new one they both clamped up real tight

it felt like it was going on normally so i thought it was fine - sump bolt back on - filled her up

gave it a crank good oil pressure around 3kgm2 and oil spewing out everywhere - doh!!!!!

so had to drain it all - didnt have a prefectly clean container so had to ditch the new oil didnt want to risk dirt etc

so drained it all out, refitted sump bolt, removed the filter, and lo- and be hold the old seal was there too - woopsies

anyway - an hour later - some frustration and swear but all good

:banana:
