Gulf Western SYN-X

Australian made oil worth considering and using
Purchased from Autobarn Eltham as was on sale and originally was going to use as a soft flush for VQ35 engine in 05 J31 Nissan Maxima TI-L
VQ35 engines are known oil consumers and their variable valve timing systems are sensitive to grade and viscosity indexes etc
Once I had done a soft flush and driven around 100 klms I re drained and changed oil filter
I refilled with the Syn X 3000 instead of my usual Castrol Edge 5w40 fully synthetic and thought I’d see how it performed
Well…
Nothing bad to ...

Running this in the GSX1400 and doing a great job. The bike never appears to get hot. No change with sound and operation of bike during the 8 to10,000km of use (some may change it earlier or leave it longer). This is the third time in succession I've used this oil. Engine never appears to be using/burning any oil. Operation of engine is smooth, gearing is smooth, what can I say but very smooth.
Generally you can tell when the oil is breaking down and it is telling you to change out for fresh stuff but this one seems stronger and durable.
No app...

Brought two 5-litre bottles while they were on special from Repco for a total of $60.00. Was a bit reluctant and sceptical first...I have been using either Valvoline Synpower or Shell Helix HX8 for the last five years, but since I've got two old cars, I thought I'll just give Gulf Western a try and see how things go. Result: It was and is right up there with either Valvoline Synpower or Shell HX8. Had the oil changes done three months ago....I checked the oil quality and quantity every fortnight...oil stayed clean and still at the right level. No problems so far. Looks like Gulf Western syn-x 5000 is performing well. Would buy it again, yes!

Just serviced my 2009 YAMAHA XJR1300 MOTORCYCLE with this oil and it runs great . No clutch slip, smooth gear changes, engine runs smoother, less engine noise than using twice the price MOTUL 5100 Oil from a MOTORCYCLE STEALERSHIP, and you get it in 5 litre containers instead of 4 litre Motorcycle oil container sizes . I would be happy to use this oil in any of my Motorcycles that I own, and GULF WESTERN OILS are AUSTRALIAN OWNED .

This was recommended to me by a fellow professional mechanic and have had great results. It may clean up an engine after previous poor quality oils have left sludge. This may cause the oil to discolour at the first time use.
Will continue to put it in my fleet including the newest acquisition, a Land Rover Series 3, V8.

I have been using Penrite HPR 30 in my HZ Holden for the last 9 years, every time without fail there was lifter rattle on start up from a cold start, since switching to the GW Syn-X 3000 no more lifter rattle. And tho oil is half the price as well .. A win win for my old Holden.

Own a 2007 Hyundai Elantra and was due for 90000k service, Hyundai were miles too dear so went back to our old mechanic. Oil used was Western Oil and shortly after noticed the motor was noisy on start up. Dipped oil and it was already dark and starting to stink and it had burned onto the dipstick even though the level was ok. This was at 93000k...ONLY 3000K AFTER SERVICE!! Drained oil and cleaned dipstick and replaced with Castrol and engine is again smooth and not noisy on startup and oil is lasting longer with no burning on dipstick. Won't e...

Switched to Gulf Western Syn X 5000 Full Synthetic Oil 2 weeks ago. Got it on special at under half the price of the other brands fully synthetic oils. Previously using Nulon 10-40 Hi Tech fast flowing for many years, before making the switch..

I was reluctant at first, and sceptical, but after 2 weeks of using the product I can honestly say that I'll be sticking with it from now on. Sick of paying top dollars for marketing purposes.. for the same thing..

This oil meets and or exceeds many specs and is a high performance product. Im ru...
