Lots of brands left out there. I hear Amsoil is amongst the pinnacle of oils, but hard to find here.

Redline is a premium top tier brand not mentioned that some AFF members may have heard about, Valvoline is a great value brand thats ticks all the boxes for me!

cheers, Maka

Agreed... been using the stuff some 25 years.... Tried a few others from time to time but always go back to it. Nulon for diff oils as they already have the additives in it which makes it rather conveniant and simple....
