Is it any good? i have been using Valvoline Engine Armour 10w30 and a GM filter. Thought I'd try this combo out its getting colder in the morning here almost NZ styles.

I was getting that horrible LS ticking when i had Penrite in it. Since the dealership switched me to Dexrus (or what ever it is called) i haven't had any ticking.

+1 for the wash and clay bar. Makes big difference. Also with the wheels why not go for some plasti dip. If you get sick of it you can just peel it off.

Really the same weight? it made a big difference with mine it actual shut the car up alot. After putting a couple of thou km's it's still decently clean but that's just my opinion.

Yeah i just got to get back in to the cleaning side of things been slack plus the storms over here make it a bit hard. Yeah i was going to do them fluro green but went for gloss black which faded to satin/matte/crud black lol . So i am not sure this time round any ideas?? throw them up.
