You can get those hose separators above from Pirtek for like $4 each. Come in black blue silver and red. In heaps of sizes. I used them for my earls oil feel line

Got any part numbers or links?

Cause it gets 40+ degrees in Perth 50 weight gives that bit more protection. And lately in Perth 3 degree morning so 5/40 is better. Pour both out of the bottle and you will see the difference

Not sure that's correct? the last number is the 'cold' value and the number preceeding the W are hot viscosity numbers iirc. The thicker oil is only that way when it's in it's cooler state

You have it back to front. The 5w/50 the 5w is the cold.

Picked one up this afternoon at MTQ Engine Systems in Malaga. Along with 12 bottles of brake fluid, so that I can continue my obsession with braking perfection. :wwww:

Might just be able to turn up on Sunday afternoon for the maintenance day if I haven't fitted it by then.

Going to finish putting the front end together tonight... finally.
