Twistee 477 Report post Posted February 3 From what I can tell 10w60 Supercar has been discontinued, Castrol is rebranding that range and it looks like in APAC there will only be 10w60 Edge. Does anyone know if this is the case? I guess the next question is what to move to as a replacement, while not cheap Supercar was at least affordable when compared to Motul or Liqui Moly.

treone 653 Report post Posted February 3 Last time I was at the local dealership I asked, out of curiosity, about what the recommended oil for the v10 is. Their reply was that full synthetic 5w-30 is now recommended - and is for most of the high performance engines. I’m too scared to put this in after having rod bearings done 😢 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulo 73 Report post Posted February 3 Yeah, I too would be a little hesitant about using anything other than Castrol 10W-60. I bought 10L of it from Palmside Automotive in CHCH a couple of weeks back. At that stage they had an over 20 x 5L packs still in stock. $90+GST per 5L. https://palmside.co.nz/products/castrol-edge-10w-60-5l Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meets all the same specs. Mostly just seems like a packaging change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treone 653 Report post Posted February 4 What about this as an alternative? - https://www.repco.co.nz/oils-fluids/engine-oils-fluids/engine-oil/penrite-10-tenths-premium-10w-60-engine-oil-5l-fs10w60005/p/A1262679 Disclaimer: my knowledge and interpretation of oil specs and associated science = below zero %. i.e. I have no idea what 10w-60 actually means other than it is original spec/grade 🤣 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
