[stevoooish]

Im so sorry im the noob asking this and yes i have read posts on this wich increased confusion.

Penrite 15W60. Been running 15W60 no problems and know where to buy it. Generally it's been recommended on forums to use 15W50 cause the engine works less.

Coming up close to 130k km. Always use Hengst for oil filters.

10W40 semi-synthetic.

Easy and cheap to buy.

These aren't highly-strung race engines that need an annual rebuild.

Thanks for your feedback. Some reading i have done for example on vortex has made it sound way OTT

Different country, different climate conditions.

5w30/40 or 10w40. They like light oil. My oil temps were 5 degrees cooler on 5w40 than 10w40.

My clutch broke and it appears to be the original.
My chains were according to the service history on the car done with in the last 40,000kms

What are people's thoughts on Penrite HPR 10, 10W-50 ?

Way to thick.

Nulon 5w30

I've only recently heard of Nulon. How long have you been using it for? Review?

Nulon is used by more performance classes then castrol and as many as gulf western.

Car hasn't seized. So it's good.

Might give it a go next oil change, how long does it last?

[HaydEn]

As long as normal oil.

Depends how much blow by you have etc, 98 vs e85, injector size.
