So if it making the catalogue sales, it should be everywhere.
I found it on the Repco and Supercheap Auto at $59.99 the back of container clearly states Not Suitable for use in A3 and B4 applications.
Looks like fuel economy focussed.
How it this the old OEM manual recommendation that 5w-30s should be used in climates where temperature is less than 25 deg C applied to this 10w-30.
Is the new wave of 5w-30s with A3 ratings superior to the 10w-30 despite climate conditions.
