Can I be the first to ask why you want their oil?
Yes, I know they make some oils with high Zinc (great for old cars).
But the marketing, even for late model vehicles, is to put in the thickest oil you can get/or a bit thicker than the manufacturers recommendation (Because "Thicker is always better"). The "Extra-10" line is one such example... Their oils are also seemingly self-approved. There was a thread around here I found where a poster pointed this out.
I cannot understand the Australian resistance to modern, thinner oils, even as an Aussie myself. This thick stuff is no good for any car used for city driving, too thick to protect adequately on startup!
I plugged in numbers for my E36, and they were suggesting 10/15w-60 Racing oils for my car... A 2.0L M50!
They even sell 25w70 oil. If you need an oil that thick, your engine *might* need to be rebuilt. Just a suggestion, LOL.

I always thought it was only available in Australia, didn't know it was overseas too.
As mentioned above, the ONLY place I've seen it for sale here in the states is at Summit Racing.

And New Zealand - but I think Australia is considered part of New Zealand these days.
