Re: NULON Fully Synthetic 5W-30
A bit of research shows that while listed on the Nulon website, no reputable parts supplier sells Nulon 'Protect', only eBay, Gumtree, GraysOnline, 'auswarehouse', & Costco. The 'normal' price is $39.99 compared to the one supplied by all the auto parts stores, which is $59.99.
The Moly DTC on the label is listed as an additional additive.
Could just all be marketing.....

Re: NULON Fully Synthetic 5W-30
I just realised, I DID get a bargain at Supercheap. My container is 6L, not 5L! Usually retails for $64.99, so $29.99 is more than 50% off.

Re: NULON Fully Synthetic 5W-30
Post in the engine rebuild thread where our member got advice from an engine rebuilder about engine oil additives...
http://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/t129248,offset=9
...especially note in the 4th paragraph where he writes
"He mentioned that everything had a yellow tinge under the microscope and that an engine additive (you know the ones!!) has been used (guilty emoticon !!) and has built up a crappy layer of bearing hating sludge which ruined everything over time.. The advice was to never use that s***!!!."

Re: NULON Fully Synthetic 5W-30
After reading all I could find on the forum and this is the most recent oil thread at 18 months old, I thought I'd ask here. Is Castrol Edge Synthetic Engine Oil 10W-30 still the oil of choice for the 2.5L T31 and has anyone tried Penrite Full Synthetic Engine Oil 10W-40? I run Penrite in both my VN SS and LS1 VX Calais with no issues for years. Any other suggestions on what is a good oil to use would be appreciated.Thanks guys and girls
