I'd gladly pay $90 a drum for it - the cheapest i can find is $140 :mad:

Penrite Japan truck 25. Happy with it so far.

Have you tried QLD diesel spares - they are the cheapest I have found in Brisbane.

Thanks Ben, i will give them a call first up in the morning.

My RX super is almost empty, might have to head to Lytton QDS tomorrow.

Happy to help. I used to pay about $68 bucks a drum many moons ago. Last drum I bought at QDS (maybe a year ago) was $82, at the same time when it cost me about $110 at truckline in Perth.

So you guys "over east" should think yourselves lucky ;)

I was going to enquire what oil most people use, so this is an interesting subject. I've been using just a cheap oil and changing it frequently although next time I'll probably try the Castrol RX Super as it seems a popular choice.

While on the subject my County has a bypass filter fitted also, should this be changed each time along with the main filter ?? The last time I purchased filters the guy said I could just use 2 standard filters and not bother with the larger one :eek: Is this good advice ??

Can someone explain the soot levels bit ???
