I always used the Castrol GTX Modern Engine 15W40 for mine, and a Valvoline filter cos it was cheaper than a Fram lol

But the castrol is quite good, and AFAIK valvoline is a pretty good brand..

Cheers for the info HUFF3R, is there much difference between 10w40 and 15w40?

Iv used the fuchs brand from BNT a few times now, and runs great. I prefer it to castrol, but dont ask me why. Use fram filter aswell. If you play your cards right u might get a good deal too.

I've liked Q8 Formula F1 10w50. It's full synthetic and good value. I think you can buy it directly from Q8 NZ. Google them, they are in Paramata, Wellington.

Filter from the dealer - cheaper than Repco or Supercheap and genuine, I think I paid about $17 last time.
