HPR semi syn is what you are looking at. I used it and was excellent and still run it in the pajero. However you just about run anything in them. I ended up used rx super for years in it just becuase I can get a 20ltr drum for $50. It wa great on RX super and kept the insides cleaner being a diesel oil.

Castrol GTX 3 seems to keep my stock motor spinning hard no problems.

MMMMMMM can't say to much, just have good friends in good places. The company buys massive amounts of it so I get it at their cost, sparingly though.

I would like to try Penrite again, but not unless the company switches brands!

Ain't changed the oil in my GQ ute now for close on 18mths. I'M SERIOUS. I will do it soon :oops:

Do the turbo diesel wagon religiously but the ute.....................well it doesn't get driven on road much besides I'm waiting for it to die so I can do a conversion but I'm not getting rid of the TB42 until it dies. ;) Another roll over or two (was on it's roof for 3/4hr last time) and it should die :D
