    I buy it through a trade supplier, but Autobarn does stock it.

    Sure its not 4200 (that is 504 approved).. the 4100 is 502 approved.

    $105/5L at Autobarn, not very cheap compared to $80/5L for the other off shelf brands

    502 is OK in them as long as you're changing it at max 15K intervals.

    504 is good for 30K.

    Just purchased some Fuchs 504.00 oil, $67 at Bursons Auto QLD. So keen to try it, was suprised at the price

    Do not use a semi-synth oil.

    If your mechanic doesn't understand the difference between synth/semi-synth and viscosity then I'd be finding a new mech.
