Oils aint oils :wink: :finger:
I use either Penrite or Penzoil
Don't let you mind wander...it is too little to be out there by itself.

mm there has been posts about this topic before.. (edit: on other boards ;))

its not magnetic, it just has some chemical thing in the oil that makes it 'stick' to the parts..

if I can come accross the article again, I will post it!

On my Petrol road car I use Mobil 1 (pretty dear at $55.00 per 5 litres), but previous vehicl history on this stuff is as follows;
Holden Astra 385,000 km without taking off the head. :D
Holden Commodore VN V6 - 430,000 km. Only engine work was oil changes & spark plugs. :D
Current Road Car - Nissan Pulsar - 200,000km & still nothing openned up (touch wood) :)

As for my other petrol vehicles I have not had a problem with Mobil Super XHP.

My 4wd Prado is a diesel, so in that I use Castrol GTD.

No the Commodore was good engine wise. If the body & gearbox had kept going, I would still have her today.
