Hi Tommy, See below, this is from our European RE5 Engine rebuilder: Michel Stoelen (TYP110) has checked with Castrol Belgium and they have confirmed that GTX 20-50 is not available in Europe. For the RE5, they recommend Castrol Power 1 4T 20-50w. Michel has questioned them about the ash content and it's 1.2% vs original GTX at 0.98%. Very close, a low ash oil, that's the important bit. As an alternative, Michel personally uses Fuchs Titan Syn MC 10W40. The thread that this quote comes from is here:
