    Best oil

    Most of the oil companies will advertise the right products for your vehicle on their websites.
    It's worth a look, takes all the guess work out of what should be used and where.

    In summer it shouldn't be a problem

    I run Nulon full synthetic and change to oils at 10,000kms. If I change to penrite and change every 5000 kms it works out to roughly the same, although not exactly

    Huh?!!!

    Penrite Diesel 5 is easily good for 12-15,000km without a change.

    Oil testing has confirmed this on multiple occasions.

    Why would changing to Penrite have you wanting to do double the oil changes?

    I used Mobile Delvac 1 ESP 5W-40 on my Td5

    I used to get the oil tested every service and it was never remotely close to actually needing to be dumped.

    Its not cheap though. After seeing everyone using penrite and seeing enough oil testing, I changed to Penrite. I still have a 10L drum I think if anyone wants it cheap. Its no good to me now!
