Even without sales on, it's under 1/2 the price of the (now overpriced) Castrol Edge Sport 25W/50. 8)
Graham Russell runs it in all his engines on the engine dyno, including things like Ford BDAs running at 9500.

I used HPR30 for a lot of years. I have switched to a better oil.
KMX has less mayo in winter than HPR30.
It does not leak oil past the crank seal anymore.
Oil consumption has dropped.

Shell oil is good oil and it is event better in a KMX bottle. :lol:

Shame Castrol Edge is so expensive...it smells so nice.
It's like underarm deoderant for smelly mini engines.
