You can get 4L of Motul 7100 for $50 and free freight if you buy through Amazon, and I suspect others.

Worth pursuing, if I were to continue to use it, but already have 6 liters of Castrol Edge 10W-60 for $7.99 each (4 for $31.96).
At 2 liters per oil change, I am probably good at least through 2018...even changing sooner than M G recommends.

Castrol Edge 10w-60 was the only oil of this grade I could find for a long time, both here in NZ and in California.  Yes, it's expensive, but it's available.

Penrite make it Dave. I am currently using their "Sin 10" which is a high zinc 10W60. They have changed the name now to something like Racing 10. Haven't bought the new line yet.

Penrite being an Ozzie firm is available here.

There was a "was" in my statement, Muzz.  Yes, I've been using Penrite products lately, and just supplied the local MG agents some Penrite MC4ST 10W-60 Synthetic for my first service on the Griso.  I was not happy with their vague answer when I asked what lubricant they intended to use, so I supplied all the fluids and the oil filter too.

And what exactly is titanium technology?

In the most basic terms, an anti-wear additive to help compensate for reduced levels of ZDDP (zinc).
