I paid about $30 per litre
They also stock ZF parts, pans. filters. metal pan conversions etc

+1 for Motospecs. cost me slightly under $30 per litre last year

Thanks for the Motorspecs tip.

I just contacted them and they have no Motorspecs outlets locally. However they did say that all REPCO stores sell their products.

So I rang the local Repco store who had no idea what I was talking about but I gave them the part number 749626-1 and they looked it up and said they could sell me 3 litres immediately and bigger quantities over night.

Cost is $38 per litre.

So - there you go ZF Lifeguard 6 is sold by Repco at a price of $38 which is not too bad for a reseller.

So the markups are something like this - Cost of manufacture ????, ZF price about $28 in bulk, the Intermediary/retail $30 a litre and the onseller $38 - but the profiteers $46 up to $90 a litre. I thought the REPCO markup was a good profit but the Landrover price is a bit over the top.

Thanks to everyone for the pointers.

Cheers

No worries, Garry

I should have mentioned the Repco connection. I think Motospecs is Repcos wholesale division
When I picked up my order Motospecs was a side door in a large warehouse with a Repco sign on it

Hi There,
Similar price, mine was $37 / L last week, had to buy a set amount, they only sold in 10 litre or 20 litre lots.

Why is this stuff so expensive? It is just a form of lubricating oil. Why is it not $3 to $5 per litre?
