If you're looking for oil make sure it's ACEA C2 or ACEA C3. The proper stuff you need is Total Quartz INEO ECS 5W30 but the Penrite Enviro+ is compatible if you can't find a C2 oil.

Supercheap have Penrite Enviro+ 5W30 C3 on sale for $52 for 5L. I went into Repco, who are advertising a 'Oil Bananza' sale in their recent catalogue but it's not on sale and is $93 for 5L, F#@& that!

ACEA C2 oils have better sludge handling (which is a problem I had with my engine) whereas C3 oils have a slightly higher viscosity.

Penrite also have Enviro+ C2 0W-30. In Perth you may be better off buying a Quartz Ineo ECS 15L package from the Total distributor.
 
I did see the Penrite 0W30 C2 online, can't remember the price but didn't see it in store.

Also, Shell Helix HX7 ECT is C3 oil as well for around that $50-$55 price point for 5L.

I have always used Penrite Enviro DL1
 
Have you bought any lately? It isn't stocked here now.
 
I bought 20l of Total Quartz Ineo ECS 5w30 at $9.50/l from Complete Oils in Derrimut Vic. In fact they were kind enough to deliver it for free because I was on the route for a delivery run.

Call Loris on 0411 800 022 and he will sort you out.
