    But those specs are so out of date, and with Australia's very mild winters...

    Thanks Rick. My point was not so much the actual spec but the 5 ( rather than 15) grade with the OP showing Melbourne as location.

    But even in a Melbourne winter there isn't much difference between a 5w and 15w at start up.

    But I didn't say that!! Too cheap? Just me??

    When I purchased my Td5 I was looking for what oil to use., I posted on here about Gulf Western.

    After much discussion with Rick 130, who appears to be very knowledgeable on oils, I have no issues with using it.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Repco have Penrite on a sort of special atm. If you have RACV or whatever state you're in it's better. But, GW is good oil I guess, and if it's only for one service and $$ matters I can't really see a problem. But I'd stick with Penrite in a perfect world. Oh wait, in a perfect world I wouldn't be servicing a TD5.
