Thread: what's your Oil

For my 300TDi's I use Castrol RX Super, whilst it isn't the cheapest it is easily found around the outlets, performs well with constant oil pressure, --- no clatter of a first morning start, the only time I do hear that is the first start after a oil change.

I buy the 20 litre drums and look for specials at Super Cheep, that keeps the cost per litre down for me.

Forgot to mention mines a v8..

Mobil 1 5-50 in my TD5

I have used Penrite oils in many vehicles over the years, including Range Rover Classics and I have never had a problem.

Using Penrite GAS 20-60 in my 1999 P38 HSE 4.6 and it is very smooth.

Whatever oil you use, all seem to agree mineral based oils are what our venerable V8 loves

After rebuilding a Holden red six, I ran the RX Super in that as well, never had any problems in the fifteen year I ran that ute.
.

when working at supercheap i got told that this is the best order(roughly)
best. mobil,penrite,castrol,shell,calibre. I can not remember where the gulf and nulon fit in. But normally the price says it.

I am still deciding what to put in my td5 when i do my service in next few weeks, not sure whats in it now (cant remember what you told me signal1 if you come in here haha) but in all my vehicles i run neo. expensive but its so brilliant. its hard to get now, can get online from their website, but only worth while to buy a decent amount. I also dont want to put that in a car when its just going to leak it out haha. i even run it in my ride on mower. a VE ute i had, put in the oil they recommended, car sounded awful, so put in neo and was 100% better. i think i voided my warrenty in running different oil, which makes no sense as it was a lot better! other than that heard great things about liquid moly. its not overly expensive. i am going to give that a whirl in the discovery this time round i think. and its in my golf from when my ex serviced it when he used it until he found another car. and he uses it in his diesel navara. only says good things haha hes super fussy with his oils.

Penrite Oil - A Better Class Of Oil


sorry, not sure for the v8 but would look at penrite first.
