I use Smith & Allan lubricants but you probably can't obtain those in Oz.

So how about Millers TRX SYNTH 75W/90 ? Jules

Thanks guys for your suggestions.
Unfortunately the postage from the UK to OZ would be not worth the hassle.
I've used Nulon oils before and didnt really like there motor oils.
Never used any of there other oils so I cant say if there good or nor.

cheers
