What else can I use besides Mobilube PTX?

I can't find this stuff anywhere.
Can I use Amsoil 75W-90??
Has anyone tried this with success?
what other brands do you guys recommend?

THANK YOU

Surf a bit, you will find it. I can get it in little old Kelowna through a commercial lube company, just phone around. There must be a Mobil distribution centre in Alberta. Ask for SHC 75-90

If you track your car very much a good choice is Neo 75-90 RHD.

I couldn't find the Neo locally. I just got online and ordered it. Don't know if they have international distributors but would be worth a Googling for all these lubes.

No problem. OEM is Mobilube SHC 75W-90. If the stuff they are recommending meets that spec you should be good to go. I purchased 6 jugs of the above a while back as I do all my own work on my car.

You should hook up with Zippy (Mike) on here, he is in Edmonton and drives an EVOMS GT700.

Thanks for the beer offer

Ben

My understanding from Mobil is that Mobilube SHC is discontinued with the replacement being the Mobil Delvac Synthetic Gear Oil 75W-90 I mentioned above. I guess if they have a bunch of SHC in stock you should get a good price.
