Nice. Keep an eye out at supercheap, when sales are on you can get 5W30 Edge sport for like $45, sometimes even $40.

Use engine oil can be recycled. Contact your local council about collection points.

Info from Australian Government:

Used motor oil is hazardous. [It floats on water and] can kill fish, frogs and other animals that breathe from the water's surface.

[But] Used motor oil can be recycled.

Oil doesn't wear out; it just gets dirty. Used oil can be cleaned, re-refined and used again [for example] as an industrial burner fuel, or re-refined back into new lubricating and hydraulic oil.
