Oil Filters in Australia

[Paul Jacobs]

After much consideration I bought a couple of K&N 204 filters from superbikesupply.com.au @ $20 I picked them up ten minutes up the road in Yatla. I think I’ve got a better filter than the Triumph filter and saved myself $10.
Now I need to find somewhere that will sell me 5 litres of Mobile 1 0-40 fully synthetic at a reasonable price. Any ideas?

I am using the Castrol Power1 racing 4T 5w-40 it is the full synthetic one for bikes and is now actually the one that triumph recommends these day I get it from my local Auto Pro shop and from memory cost about $72 for 4 litres pricy stuff but the bike seems to like it, will be changing it soon as it has just now done the recommended 16,000 km and is still looking to be in good shape, it has only now after all these km started to discolour, first time I used it I only did 10,000 km and it still looked new so I thought I would see how it looked after the recommended 16 thou/ km

I’ve put the Mobile 1 0-40 in the bike as I had 4 litres in the garage and only had to buy one. The bike ran really well with it in last time but will go with a bike synthetic next time. Either the Castrol or the Mobile.
Spend money on liquid parts there a lot cheaper than metal ones.

just a question I could not see a bike specific oil and the full synthetic is not JASO MA approved oil, has it got additives, just asking as I would hate to see you damage your clutch.
I used to get an F/syn oil for my Honda, it was an Auss company that imported it's oil from Singapore it was great and half the price but they went out of bussiness, I noticed such an improvement that I have been hooked on Full Syn since, bugger the expense

Now that I think of it the dealer put the Motol Sythetic int he R3 at last oil change.
I have run the PM in all my other bikes previous and no problems.

Motol fully synthetic is what I use Mittzy it's a little bit dearer not game to try any thing else.

Got 5000klms on this Motol and still clean looking.

just watch out I have seen Dealers try and pass off Semi Syn as full Syn and Motol is over priced, make sure you read the fine print on bottle

 

[peter k]

Hanso I hear what your saying they tried that on me after reading the relative information on both bottles I insisted on the fully synthetic .they didn't have enough in stock and tried to sell me partially synthetic
