What did you buy today ???

[Pommeroy]

My winter gloves are also "Five"...very happy with them too.

[grog]

Actually not made in China, Amazing. France & Italy.

[Mr Gee]

Motul chain lube. C2 clear, don't like the white stuff.

A new pair of gloves too.
RST, on sale as they are summer gloves and my old ones, are just about worn out. Seemed like a good time, to buy.

Well done Notty. I thought about same a while back but no response to email, nowhere to try on🤷🏼Happy with my LS2. Schuberth more expensive UK than Oz, that's a first ever.

Please explain a "Schuberth Shape ahead" 😳

Even at discounted price that $1400 Aus.

I'm fairly certain Schuberth make all BMW branded helmets.

I quite like the white spray so I know where I've sprayed already. It disappears by the next morning and there's very little fling. I completely clean the chain once a year. I very rarely need to readjust the chain.

14l of penrite 0w20 enviro+ c5 plus an oil filter for the Defender's 10000km interim oil change. Engine takes 8.8l, so i have spare for the next 10000km.

[KiwiCol]

0w/20? God that's light for a diesel eh.  My Merc runs Penrite 5w/30 Enviro+ C3   good stuff, been using it for years.  I use that one because it had the MB certification number on it for my engine.

[Pommeroy]

Seeing as it's an Penrite appreciation moment...I yesterday bought 10l of Penrite 15W-40 Running-in oil in anticipation of reassembling the Fergie. Supercheap Auto had 25% off, so worth grabbing now.

[grog]

Gulf Western Synnex3000 10w40in my car, always first couple of minutes slightly tapping, hydraulic lash adjuster my guess. Last change used full synthetic 5W30 Euro.No more tapping.🤷🏼

I use Suzuki's own Ecstar oil in my bikes.

The main dealer and I both do jobs on my bikes so I like to use the same oil.

It's the only oil that got me an extended warranty.

It's always in stock and after many years I've never had a drama.

I just stick to what has worked.



My mower (660 V-Twin Kawasaki) gets Kawasaki oil, obviously just repackaged but I pick it up when I get belts and blades etc.

Never been over fussy about what go's in the Ute, 4x4, tractor etc. I stick to the recommended weight and normally a brand I'm familiar with.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

My Defender is a P400, so petrol engined. Inline 6. Hence the 0W20 oil. Wifes jeep V6 petrol runs the same spec oil. 

Yes, it has the required JLR specifications plus i saved 91AUD when buying 2x7l drums as they were 50% off.

[grog]

All personal preference as long as the correct specs. Mid 80s had a Mate worked at Ampol  refinery Brisbane.His job was mixing oil for diff brands, each one had a recipe.Castrol,BP etc.Was interesting conversations over a few coldies.I know Repco oil is Penrite, Gulf Western also in a generic but have forgotten which.
