The reason I got it in the 1st place is the local Supercheap/Repco didn't stock anything better and synthetic at that viscosity. Autobarn, who have a wide selection are over 25 Kms away. I wasn't goin to buy castrol as didn't want to risk getting something so light as 5w30 incase I developed leaks on my higher mileage engine.
I drive my car reasonably hard and usually shift at 4krpm. Of course the oil is changed no more than say every 5-6,000kms.
I would like to switch to motul, but I've heard that its not a good idea to change brands too often. Besides, Nulon are pretty price competetive
( and I can get it around the corner from my house.) Furthermore, like I've stated before, the engine seems to run well, and oil consumption and fuel economy is no more than when I used mineral FEO.
I would like to hear your opinions, not just from Phased, but from some OH veterans.
Don't flame me for my naivety as I'm not an oil specialist,
