2004 VY ss ute
Please be nice.
So I know it's probably been asked a million times and after going through numerous forums I'm just as unclear.
So i recently purchased a VY ss ute manual with a stage 2 custom cam and OTR. I want to do a bit of a service on it and also keep the engine in good condition but unsure what oil is best suited for the engine and also how I drive.
It's got just over 230k on the clock and I will admit I'm a little bit of a lead foot here and there. It's a daily car at the moment so it does get a bit of use.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as its sometimes hard being a chick and taking cars to a mechanics. I'd end up being told I need a bunch of things I don't or it ends up being more expensive than if I got a guy to take the car in. Learnt that the hard way

Factory spec is 10w-40. Penrite HPR5 is a great contender and my recommendation. Doesn't really matter what the cam is
