    I second Tombraider. Used to use Delvac 1, but the price.... well lets say HPR 5 is much cheaper.

    Actually a report (link eludes me atm) shows the semi synthetics have the benefits of both mineral and synthetics properties...

    I'd suggest it every time...

    The TD5 almost purrs on the stuff.
