Yes there is a distributor in WA (use search function :p )

I bought 0W30 last time and I'll never buy it again... Never had such a bad lifter noise! Went with Motul 300V chrono 10W40 this time, quite expensive but runs smoothly!

Ralliart & Mitsubishi recommends for their V6 engines only full synthetic 10W40!

The reason i have offered to host the group buy from here is that i believe, including freight, all members "should" be able to buy it cheaper from QLD then their respective home states. There is a distributor in WA see here

I would suggest giving them a call and asking for a price on your individual needs, then comparing that to what i have obtained through our QLD supplier. You will have to add freight but i have included a postage calc on the GB thread. You may also have to pay freught locally, i am not sure how close you live to them etc.

Tom, how much did you pay for your 0W-30 ?
And as for the recommended weight for OUR engines, Mitsi state 0 or 5W-30 in the manual.

The prices are as follows:

10w-30 is only available in a gallon which is 3.785 litres $66.00 each
0w-30 is available in gallon and quarts (.946 litres) $75.00 for gallons and $20 for quarts

If this is the first time using AMSOIL we recommend using the engine flush which is $11 each.


OzVR4 get 10% discount on those prices!

It MAY work out the same when you factor in freight but we will be paying far less than that for those products

0W-30 @ $78.67 INC GST which works out at $14.90 inc gst per quart
Engine flush @ $8.00 inc per bottle
Oh and the filters are $25.20 ea

Filter is $12 at Repco ;-)

Just ask for a Hyundai Excel filter, it is such a shame!!!

Don't forget to put a magnet on to the bottom of the oil filter(y)

I would guess not to many people would be as interested in the filter as you say, a Z142A will work at over half the price.
I have used the Amsoil filter before and have also heard a lot of people say "they do a job the cheaper ones do but better"

I think you can buy magnetic oil filters through Autobarn, i think they are called "drift" or some brand like that. They are still around the 20 bucks or so.

Hmm, my Leggy arrived Australia with a little magnet sticked to the oil filter, so I just put it back on everytime I do an oil change, hehe.

Haven't heard of perfomance test on filters so far, if you got some let me know... I never really thought there were any differences.

Neither did i but apparently so.

The magnet as you know will be just to help trap any metalics and keep them in the filter.
