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

    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 Is this good advice ??

    Can someone explain the soot levels bit ???
