Coming up service time again, and the Calibre synthetic (supercheap Auto), which is actually Caltex C3 is no longer available from Supercheap, and at the highway Caltex stores $75 plus for 5L...
Looking at the options, I've got reasonable availability (and price) of these two.
A semi syn

And a full syn
http://www.tds.castrol.com.au/pdf%5C10944_Castrol_Magnatec%20Diesel_5W-40__2012_6.pdf
Both around $93 for 10L (I need nearly 7 for a change)
Both 5W-40, the semi has better cold cranking, but overall a bit thicker, but has full zinc...the full is a bit thinner (13.8cst@100C)
Could use the Magnatec SP that I've used before, but only comes in 20L drums, at $220.
