G'day people,
Can anyone tell me if there's an outlet in
Broome that sells bleep s oils. I'll be looking at doing a service on the 'cruiser when we're over there as this will be the halfway point in our trip from CQ.
Cheers
Olly

Damn this spell checker the name starts with an F and ends with an S and has UCH in the middle. See if it works this time.

ROFLMAO!!!
Their
sign caught my eye the first time I saw it, if you dont look at it closely it can be easily confused.
I have noticed that many Gull servos carry the F-U-C-H-S brand. Worth checking their website to see if they have a outlet located in
Broome

Alloy, yeah I've wondered about that. Seems like no-one here has a good word for it (except Bill of course), yet EOz keep it in the endorsed product list.

What sort of Auto parts stores are in Broom, ie Autobarn, Repco.
Because I may have to call before we leave to see if anyone stocks it otherwise I might have to carry enough for an oil change plus some for emergency but as space is limited I may have to leave some food at home as a reduction in the amount of beer is not an option.
I hope you'se all had a giggle, pitty it wasn't friday.

Last year we were in Karatha and I decided to replace the cardboard air filter so went to the REPCO (Rip Every Poor C---Off)
shop and was charged over $60 for the poor relations equivilent to the manufacturer's highly priced item. Was told that transport was the reason for the high cost. Crap I think. Could have bought the genuine article from the dealer cheaper. The extra money you will need to carry will accomadate the space that carrying the oil from home will take up.

Not many auto
places in
Broome, not when I was there in 2003.
There is a Toyota service agent [big sign], and a Nissan service agent [no big sign] and a few garage's.
You may need to get some sent up to the
post office for when you get into town.

worked our fishing boat out of there for a while a couple of years back and though I didnt buy any F U C H S there (though we store it on board) I can remember seeing a F... logo on the port road between the town and wharf. It will be available and it is good oil. Cost effective, and better than alot with bigger advertising budgets. We used it in Main engines, generators, hydraulics, hydraulic gearboxes and steering, all 15w40

Thanks Fisho64,
I've heard some very good reports on the Brand so i thought i'd give it a go. I'm running 15w40 in the cruiser with about 1.5ltrs of Moreys Oil Stabilizer. So thanks for the reply

is there a reason why you need the Moreys?s good stuff also, usually you only need it in an engine to compensate for some problem though as it raises the viscosity?

After talking to a few people that have been using it for years and also actually seeing the stuff before I used it, I thought i'd give it a go. If you stick your finger in it then rub two fingers together and then separate them there will be stringy film between your fingertips. So the theory is (we'll mine anyway) is that this stuff stays up in the engine so that there is always an oily film between the components thus reducing the wear. I know it increases the viscosity of the oil and thats another reason i put it in as well, because i normally run 20w50 but the outlet were i got the F_U_C_H_S only had 15w40. I'll see how it goes and if i think it's no good then next service i'll give it the flick and go back to Penzoil..
