So, TBN above 10, Noack Volatility below 10%, HTHS at 3.5 cP or above, and high ZDDP at about 1000 ppm Zn (hence SL rather than SN or SP, the API chemical limits rules, not the quality of the oil)
This is my go to oil, running it in the 2.5L Nissan X-Trail (Rogue) right now.
The oil is half price at $35 for 5L

At AutoBarn in Australia, 22 Aug to 5 Sept.

Gulf Western 10W30 semi-synthetic
API SP and ILSAC GF-6A
70% Off, $10 for 5L

That is an amazing good price at $2 per litre, and you have the natural advantages of 10W30 such as its low Noack volatility and its shear stability, coupled with the new tests added to SP & GF-6A, like timing chain wear protection and LSPI protection.

KV100 = 10.6 cSt
PP = -30C
TBN = 7.2
SA = 0.7 %

My oil stash is getting bigger and bigger . 20L Delvac 10w30 CI-4, 10L Castrol Edge 5w30 A3/B3, 10L Castrol Diesel 0w40 C3 and now another 10L of GW 10w30 API SP.

I know, I too have ample oil.

Gulf Western isn’t a brand I usually pay attention to, but I’ve looked them up and yes they are on the official API list. So this is a real API SP 10W30 oil, and there has been significant improvements in going from SN to SP, so you know it’s a good oil.

And that price ! One red back gets you two jugs .....

Thanks for that, good to hear, looks like GW is now on my radar.

That’s the benefit of following quality industry specs, and producing good PDS data sheets with real numbers measured to ASTM standards. It allows people to trust your product.

Looks like I’m lining up for my first GW purchase.

My oil stash is getting bigger and bigger .........and now another 10L of GW 10w30 API SP.

That makes two of us, I just picked up 10L of GW 10W30 for myself.

 

[adams355]

Gulf Western has always been good oil. They just entered the market with some low cost options which put some people off. Look at the weights of some of their 'comp' oils, 1000hp E85 oils.

Repco: Valvoline Engine Amour 10w40 API SP Semi syn. $25 for 5L. Not to shabby....

Repco: Valvoline Engine Amour 10w40 API SP Semi syn. $25 for 5L. Not to shabby....

Nice, I’ve not used the newer API SP EngineArmour, but I’ve used lots of the older 10W40 semi-synthetic DuraBlend that was API SN/CF & ACEA A3/B4.

The older SN 10W40 EngineArmour had a Noack Volatility of 10.2% according to the Valvoline PDS, which is nice and low. I’m sure the newer one is much the same.

Edit: just looked it up, the newer SP 10W40 Engine Armour is still Euro rated with A3/B4. That should suit most cars.
