Jackaroo diesel oils

Jackaroo,
Magnatec is an excellent choice, it's a 10-40W, as 5 litres is insufficient to change oil in the Jack, get a 20L drum, last 20Ldrum of Magnatec I brought was about $120.
Other alternative is BP C6 Global Plus, you must make sure it is the plus, to be 10-40, not sure about the price for a 20L, but believe it is comparable in price.
There is a mobil 4x4 which is 10-40 but doesn't quite meet the specs.
Also a Shell Helix diesel oil that is a 10-40 as well, not sure if the Shell and Mobil are available in 20L drums.
Jack, if you're still having trouble obtaining oil, give ma an email on

Cheers,

Hi,
hope you can find some of the following oils
Castrol Formula R 5-30 synthetic B3/B4(stay in grade 10,000k oil change intervals)
Castrol magnatec as described above has only a B3 rating
(diesel indirect injection long stayin grade oil)
castrol softec TXT (0w-30w?) is the recomended oil for very cold climate (B3/B4)

Shell Helix Ultra 5-40 synthetic Has B3/ B4 rating(B4 means direct injection stayin grade)
Modil synth S 10w-40w semi synthetic

for 5000klm oil change intervals shell Eco 10 (10w-30w), common oil for new falcon & commodore meets the spec for jackaroo.

there are others. The choice between going synthetic and just mineral oil comes down to price differance between more cost less often(synthetic oil and long stay in or short stayin and more frequent oil & filter changes
also what sort of use you jack is getting.

check the specification for at least a B3 rating or better still B4 with the oils for long drain intervals and you probably cant go wrong!

I hold no bias towards any of the above oil brands, they just got jotted down in the order they came to me!
Hope you can find some of these!

Happy travelling
