    Penrite 5w-30 C1 or C4

    Hi Everyone,

    I have been looking through a lot of threads on changing the oil at home at an intermediary 12,000 kms.

    A lot of the threads refer to Penrite 5w-30 which is the same as what our indie uses but I am not sure which spec and they are closed for the Christmas break. In the old threads some refer to C1, Enviro+ C1, C4, Enviro+ C4 or just Enviro+. A check on the Penrite website gives preference to Enviro+ C1.

    Is there something about the Enviro+ C4 that I have missed, otherwise I’ll be buying the Enviro+ C1 while the Boxing Day sales are on at Repco/Supercheap etc.

    cheers
    Jonathan

    Are you referring to the 2.7 or the 3.0? I don’t know but I’m watching this thread with interest

    If you have a 3.0 with DPF - Enviro+ C1

    If you do not have a DPF - Full Synthetic 5W-30 (or at Repco Vantage Full Synthetic 5W-30)

    Thanks for the info Tombie.

    Do you know of why the C4 is also used?

    Different HTHS level. Both are low SAPS (low Phos and Zinc levels to protect the DPF)

    I am guessing that with the linked document being about 4 years old that is where everyone used to refer to either Enviro+ or Enviro+ C4 and that the Enviro+ C1 is a newer product and why it does not appear as much in the older posts.

    Thanks for the extra info.

    cheers
