    Oil Question Again

    Its time for me to buy some more engine oil for my D4. Looking up I see Penrite has 2 types (well 3 if you include enviro for DPF cars). One is called Vantage full synthetic 5-30W, and the other which I have been using previously between Indy services called Full Synthetic 5-30W. There is considerable price difference $65 and $84 RRP. for 6 litres. A considerable difference if you buy it in bulk as I do for me and a few other LR tragics. Just wondering if anybody knows what is the Vantage, is it really suitable for a D4. I cannot seem to find anything on the internet. BTW Penrite web site recommends Full Synthetic for D4 not the Vantage full synthetic.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    I think the 'Vantage' is the Repco exclusive brand. I use the Penrite Full Synthetic 5w-30 and have looked at the Vantage but not closely enough to say whether it's the same oil in different labeling. It wouldn't be hard to check though.

    Penrite have a 'compare' feature on their website so you can literally look from one to the other and compare specs. That way you can easily see if one or both have Ford type approvals, or if not licensed at least meet the Ford spec.

    Did that enough detail is given to compare. Wording and data sheets are the same for both. Wording almost identical. Hence my question.

    It would seem it's the same oil and Vantage is just the Repco branding.

    To add to the confusion, have you considered 5W-40?
