Thread: V8 Oil

G/day Mark
I use valoline Engine Armor in my D1 V8,Does use a little between 5000klms changes
Cheers smally

I use Penrite (10/50 I think). It seems to start losing oil pressure at around the 5k mark, so that is when I change mine.

I'm just about to do a oil change, my k's are coming up to 130,000
Thanks in advance

Penrite HPR 10 - 50 works good. Change every 5 -8000k's depending on mood.

Price is good too.

Cheers

ok, thanks all, went for 20 /50.

I now use Castrol GTX3 15W-40. This grade was recommended by my local mechanic, whom I trust, he took into account the 182,000klms on the car as well.
Very happy with it, but I dont know what my D2 was on before.

I run Penrite HPR10 in my 4.6 as recommended by Penrite. I will be adding some morey's on the next oil change to try and combat a noisy lifter. 5000k's max on the oil.

Oil's cheap, Engines are expensive
