Nudging this thread to get some quick smart info.
I've decided I can do my own service for Firty before my drive to Melbourne next week.

It's best matched to the 60 month / 75Mm service, which is essentially just oil and filter.

What would you advise on sourcing the required bits?

1. Filter
With very little effort I found this:

2. Oil
Old user Reecho listed this in a post here:

Does the above detail pertain to Firty's spec?

Supercheap has the 5L Penrite at $44.87. I guess I'll have to buy two bottles.

Any last words? Green light? Shopfront alternative for the filter?

Stick with a Ryco oil filter Gonz, 10 micron filtration is as good as you get.

Have you considered Nulon 0W-40 for your oil? it's a true group 4 synthetic and great for diesels too

[The Gonz]

Thanks, Craig.

I just found the Ryco filter over the counter at SuperCheap is just $19.95. Enough reason to blow $5 on membership and get Mrs G a new set of $28 hubcaps.

SuperCheap has only the Castrol Edge 0W-40 in 5L at $85.88.

Autobarn has the same and the Nulon but without prices appearing.

Repco has home brand 0W-40 in 5 & 10L but frustratingly also no pricing.
 

OK, I'm hitting the streets for some price comparisons and shopping.

[CraigB]

I think the Nulon 0W-40 was $79 last I seen it at Autobarn, a couple of months ago it was there for $39 but it doesn't go on sale often as it's their best oil.

All the other oils in that list are group 3 oils with extra additives, not as good as group 4 Mobil 1 0W-40 "extended protection" ( no longer available ) was group 4 up until their new range was released and now they've followed suit with the other group 3 oils

Not sure why it's not showing up on the Supercheap website I'm sure I've seen it in there I'd give em a call.

[The Gonz]

Repco is near enough to be almost within walking distance.

Their Repco brand 0W-40 is around $55, which will bring it to 50ish with Mrs G's RAA discount. Two of those babies and I'm poorer by $100 and richer by 10 litres.

Their Ryco filter was $40 but they will match the $19.95 listed at SuperCheap.

When Mrs G gets home I'll go back out with her card and $120 and grab the lot.

[CraigB]

One of the things I don't like about Repco oil is it's someone else's oil, Repco switched from Mobil to Penrite years ago to save money on cost and Penrite is actually quite a poor oil blended from numerous cheap suppliers

The original $40 asking price for the oil filter would have been reason enough for me to tell them to stick it, even if they matched prices.

[The Gonz]

Just noticed. Happy birthday, Craig!

[CraigB]

Thanks Gonz, 21 today

I only just noticed the little cakes that get put next to my posts, I wish I could eat them

[PiL]

I'm gonna go nulon when the time comes based on craigB's trolling.
Now just keeping my eyes open for a sale.

Happy birthday, Troll!

Gonz, when I had the CRDi I found 5 ltrs was enough (the .3 is generally retained when you drain the sump) 

[Phil №❶]

Actually, the .3 is required, as the oil filter drains when turned off, so 5lts would be a little under while in use.

[cruiserfied]

I generally use 5.2lt per oil & filter change.
