I went to midas and found these:
Shell rimula r4x 15w40, Castrol delo 400, Castrol gtx diesel all for a below R300. Looks like it will be easy to find.

I just had a oil sample done for work and got an interesting result.
The current batch of Shell Rimula R4X 15W40 has a ZDDP level of pretty close to 1250ppm. This is pretty much spot on with what we need for our engines.
Ok!! I'm back and need to finish my build, or Tony is going to kick my ass, but back to topic!! You Guys can thank me later for this, i found the oil Tony was talking about.

When i saw the name, something came up and i remember that we use to used this oil on my dad Mercedes V8 powerliner. The place that stocks this is triangle lubricants. Here is the link. Think i still have some of this oil at home, just need to check. We used to buy 20 liter drums of it. Here is the link and address link :
