BTW I have used the oil in the trucks for a combined 1.9 million km over 20 years with no actual oil related problems

Damn Janx! Now that's a good resumé
Problem is only you guys get that stuff down there...

From looking at the Valvoline web site, it appears that the "Valvoline Super Diesel 15/40" that Janx referred to is the same oil that's sold in the
US as Premium Blue Diesel Engine Oil or possibly the Premium Blue Extreme Engine Oil.
Of course, I could be wrong, this was just the result of a quick google search. If anyone knows otherwise, please let us know. I'll be looking to pick up some of the above unless someone dissuades me.

As gsJack said though guys, it doesn't have to be valvoline! .. any good quality and correct rating oil should do it. .. the premium / high end bit is probably more important. ..

Depends on your relative costs too. .. I have a huge drum that my business income paid for. .. I don't like the idea of paying extra price for 'super dooper' bike oil. ...

The reason we first used the oil was its meant for high hours, turbo charged diesel, hot conditions. .. in transport trucks..

The situ being that it works so well in my bike is the cream!... not the cake!

I use diesel oil in my turbo gasoline car, my bike, even my mower. I did a used oil analysis on the car, great results; I'm not going to send a bike sample to a lab and won't mention the mower...
