Hi guys

The reply I got from Castrol. Took them a while but it's good to know that anyway..

Hi Wil.
Thanks for your e-mail enquiry regarding the correct lubrication for
your Suzuki Jimny.

Castrol RX Super will destroy your catalytic converter prematurely.
As Suzuki specifies a 10W/30 oil, Castrol Magnatec would be the retail
grade required.

If you have any further enquiries, please contact the Technical Helpline
on 1300 557 998,

I ended up using Synthetic oil for the Jimny instead of the RX Super plus (I must add, the RX Super is fantastic for the diesel)

Cheers

Hi Andre

I have a 20ltr tub of RX super plus which I bought for my diesel cruiser and have recently aquired a Jimny 1.3ltr petrol. Which is due for a service.
Mate has actually put the RX super plus into his petrol cruiser before christmas and been on a big trip. His comment was the oil remain clear for a long time..??
The oil was terrific for the diesel but I wasn't sure if it was a good idea for the petrol, hence this query.

Cheers

Wil
