Isuzu engine:
Penrite HPR Diesel 20W-60. Although is around $85 for 10L. Should I ditch the Penrite and go a cheapie?
LT85:
Castrol Syntrans 75W-85 or Syntrax 75W-90. Rick speaks too highly of it for me not to try it. :D
LT230:
In my Disco LT230 I've been using Penrite GEAR OIL 85W-140 Mineral. (Use to be called Hypoid 85W-140). I've only just realised this is mineral based and higher viscosity than some are mentioning here. Should I keep running this in both LT230 and my axle diffs, or go to a syn in lower viscosity?
