    In this post dealing with 380/6g75 engines:

    https://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/sh...=1#post1641390

    Madmagna has suggested Gulf Western Syn X 3000.

    It is on special at the seemingly very good price of $19.99 until 29 March at Supercheap:

    The limited number of reviews that I have seen are mostly positive.

    My transplanted 6g75 engine in my TL AWD is approaching 6 months from time of installation.

    I might give the GW product a try later in the year.

    It is semi-synthetic, as opposed to being termed a full-synthetic oil, but I had been using Nulon 10W40 semi-synthetic for a few years in my 6g74 before it was replaced by the 6g75 without any significant problems other than some leaks from the rocker cover gaskets, which was not unexpected @190,000km at time of replacement.

    At approximately only 20,000km total travelled from factory new on my new engine(sitting in a warehouse for a lot of years until it was installed by a previous customer of MitsFix), I am not expecting any problems at all.

    P.S. The new engine install and all other work carried out by MitsFix is still all 100%.

    I picked up two 5l containers whilst still on special.

    It will be a few months before I need to change the oil, but I will report when completed.
