Cheap Shell HX5
« on: May 20, 2015, 03:12:47 PM »
Super Cheap Auto are offering 5 litre Shell HX5 (which I have been using for a couple of years) for $18.88 ($11 discount)
It's 15W-40. Limit 2 per customer while stocks last.

The Diesel oil has some extra additives, that seem to quieten the engine slightly, and make the gear changes a bit smoother especially 1 to 2. Its also usually a bit cheaper than the same brand of motor oil , or bike specific oil.

The oil is designed to handle the stresses of the dirty, powerful diesels so cerainly wont hurt the ST

It's suitable for all IC engines, even biodiesel, ethanol engines, autogas and of course, petrol ones.
