You didnt even have to search - few threads down is this thread.....read it, there's more oil info in that thread than you could possibly need.

good for peak of summer in the northern teritory maybe,but may be too "thick" for a vic winter,and with these wide multi viscosity numbers (10W-60),they have to compromise with additives etc i think,wait for Alans J`s reply,he will set you straight,i would choose 5W-40 myself

It's too thick, do an exchange for Castrol Edge 5w30 instead.
