No one can answer my SAF-SA and SAF-XA question?

[DAN00H]

sounds like it is the same thing (seeing as X and S are adjacent).

engine: MOTUL 300V 15W-50 + RYCO filter

&

gearbox: REDLINE MTL

[DAN00H]

I use redline throughout. expensive, but if it keeps it all happy - then it is cheap insurance.

If you notice the location of the S and X keys on the keyboard, and the fact that SAF-SA doesn't exist, I think you can probably work out the rest

So, has anyone tried the Mobil 1 high performance oil filters? One came on my car when it was delivered from Japan. It had a sticker on it saying Mobil 1 M1-111, but I ordered some from the US and they look wider and higher. The one I wanted was a low profile one because my car has an oil cooler and the connector takes up precious space.

The Australian Mobil dealers do not list them. They're only available from Japan and the US by the look of it.

Haven't used Mobil 1 filters, sorry...

Got quoted from Repco $170 for 5L of SAF-XA today...! Can't be right can anyone confirm pricing?

[Roy]

It was nothing like that. i bought some for my car from Bursons/Bensosn whatever the Vic spare parts chain is called. It wasnt cheap, but nowhere near that expensive (i got gearbox and diff for about what you were quoted) .

I have some left over, you may get away with just buying 1L and using the balance of what i have left over.

[lwells]

When I bought SAF-XA, it was about $27 per 1l bottle. I always find Repco to be about 10 per cent more expensive than anywhere else.

So how much would I need for the front and rear diffs?

Guessing 1.5L rear, 1L front?

Approximately, yes. Better to have closer to 3L so you can spill a bit
