Engine oil recommendation

[fourteen8]

Can anyone recommend the engine oil for D4 SDV6 2014?

I have been using Penrite for my D2.


Thanks

I use Penrite Full Synthetic 5w-30.

HPR5 which is 5w -40

Probably best oil.

I've used cat DEO ULS 15W-40 for about 20,000ks with no issues.

I've used Valvoline in my D3 since I've owned it. My current recommendation is Synpower MST 5W40

I also use Penrite Full Synthetic 5W-30

Bought 6l bottle of HPR5 yesterday for $68 so will see how it goes.

How will you know if it good or bad?

So.... I always buy a 6L bottle, measure 300ml out and pour in the rest. But!! They also sell 5L bottles. Lucky I check the oil occasionally. Took me a while to figure it out

Use whatever brand is preferred,as long as it is the specified oil for the engine,you will have nothing to worry about.

The manufacturer may use a different spec oil for a different ambient,just change to suit if needed.

Unless there is a problem with the engine,why change from the what the manufacturer specifies?
