When the experts recommend something that they learn from years of experience building race and street engines and they also have no business affiliation with the recommended company, it is worth listening. But as I said earlier, this oil works for me and I'll stick with it, if someone is happy with something else, well so be it.
I do hear 5000km oil changes are highly recommended. I know oil isn't cheap, but it is cheaper than a damaged transmission. Was gonna say a blown tranny, but knew it would bring out the 'what the' and other comments from our old and boldsI couldn't get Mobil in my area when I first got the Rocket ('05) ... been using Nulon 10 /40 full synthetic all its life. This has included some very fast (and hot) Central Australian crossings. Still shifts smooth and idles quietly. Generally change oil every 5000k but have stretched to 9000k when travelling every day .... last lap of Aus was 30 days so changed in Perth before the run across the Bight. I have recurrent nightmares about blown gearboxes but so far so good
Yep as Nev would say good oil is cheaper then good engine parts!!!!!!!!!
Hope it works out well for you, made a huge difference in mine. You got a good price too by the sounds of it. I Am keeping an eye out for discounts in Aus too.
