| Thanks Ross, seems like some good reviews in here. Funny we get so brainwashed into thinking the more we spend, the better quality oils may be. I love the fact it is blended in Australia. It is an Australian owned company? I'm going to give it a run in my road and trackbikes and see how it goes.
Thanks mate! | |

| Most of the others have to feed millions to their oversease head office. Being 100% Australian we don't have to build that into our cost structure. | |

| Hey Ross, you might remember our discussion regarding using the Protecta Ultra for both the cars as well as the GS? Just thought I'd let you know that I finally did an oil and filter change on both the cars yesterday. Although I haven't taken the Tribute for a run yet, we did take Cathy's little Echo out last night and I'm happy to report that the little Toyota loves the Protecta Ultra. She runs noticeable smoother and quieter, believe it or not! I'm expecting even better out of my Mazda and I reckon fuel economy will be better as well. The Mazda had a slight tappet noise on idol but that's gone with the new oil. So I can get exactly 2 bike changes and a car change for both, out of a 20 litre drum - fantastic. Remind me to give you a big sloppy kiss when I see you next . |

| I've just joined because of this thread and it has perked my interest in GW oils, I've wondered about them before but never knew much so haven't tried them as yet. Just wanted to know is it ok to PM/contact you RossT to ask you about GW fluids that may be suitable for my bike (well and cars). | |

| I need your help.
One of our more discerning members has placed an order with us ( Gulf Western ) for a 20 litre of Syn TS Synthetic auto transmission oil for delivery to ??? Mountview Place, Newport.
I need a name and phone number to arrange a delivery time.
This could be an error on our part as we have been growing so quickly lately that we have some new staff members on the order phones who may not have requested all the required information.
If you are the person who placed the order or if you know which of our members it might be please phone me on 0427 323 305.
Thanks. | |

| No Ed. We need to phone him to get the details but do not know who it is or a phone number. All we have is an address.

| Ross, Just changed the oil in the bike yesterday and the difference is incredible!! It shifts alot smoother and is also much easier to find neutral. I knew GW oils were good in the cage, but in the bike(wow).
I believe the bike was running Honda Gn4 10w30 b4 i changed it. |

| I found the same huge difference when I swapped over in the Triumph we had. Heaps smoother and more fuel efficient to boot. |
