679-0500 is the number I have for the business that I believe are the distributors for Valvoline...I can't remember the name but they are located on the old southern main road. About 5-10 mins heading north from by the heliport in Couva
@shotta and havoc
Still have the Delo, still planning on using it in the future... It's just that the Gulf synthetic was available at a good price
Delo 15w40 in Smartprice has gone up to $130 a US gallon
The Gulf Fleet Force Synth 10w40 works out to $165 a US gallon , which is not that much more for a synthetic. The 20 litre pail was purchased for 860 I think.
It isn't easy to pour from though and the specification is API CF,
which is outdated according to API but is what Toyota (owners manual) recommends.
For almost half the price of what amsoil, shell and Castrol synthetics go for, i can have a synthetic, albeit in a pail.
The gulf appears to pump a bit faster than the Delo and that is all I can really say as I have only run it for 1000km so far.
Did some math... If I extend my drain intervals from 5000km, which I did on Delo, to 6500km on the gulf... It will cost the same...
