Title: Best place in Brissie for car oils ?
Post by: VladTepes on Wednesday, 27 September 2017, 05:00 PM

Car service time, and I need to get -


Penrite HPR15-50 engine oil (7 litres)

Castrol VMX80 transmission fluid (2.7 litres)
Penrite 80/90 Gear oil (9.3 litres)


Supercheap are more expensive than Repco, and Repco don't have these on sale, although they do have a lot of other penrite oils on sale)


Does anyone know of anywhere else worth checking?


Ta.

Thanks, I'm pretty set on those particular oils - the bloke who recommended them has maintained a lot of  Land Rovers over the years and knows his shit.


Sweaty - ok ta,  I'll check them out.


Yep Repco give RACQ members 10% off all the time Tony. I am one so I'll have a look anyway.


Irish - nope.  I'm either going on the bike or not at all....  Hopefully the former....
