Supersyn is the old one, New Life is the latest version.

Supersyn was often in 4L bottles, but I've only seen New Life in 5L containers.

Managed to buy 10 litres of Mobil 1 0W 40 New Life for £61 off eBay. Looks like a really good price.

I only need 8 litres but the 2 litres may be needed for topping up.
