VXCalais,
Good post with lots of info - too much in fact, I am now less confident about choosing an oil.
Yesterday I called Penrite & asked for a recommendation.
My vehicle is Acclaim series II, 140,000 Km, operated in SE Qld (Gold Coast) & used almost exclusively as a shopping basket, rarely running more than 15 mins with the occasional 30 min run about once a month.
They recommended HPR 10 (10w-50) which is a full synthetic; also suggested changes at 7500 Km intervals saying fuel dilution of the oil was the major enemy which would normally not be the case if longer trips were the norm.
I also advised I intended to use Purolator oil filter which I will buy from Amazon in probably box of 4.
Maybe this adds another perspective?
