Switched back to Penrite when RP hit $90+ for 5ltrs.I couldn't fault it, samples always came back clean, but then again the Samples I've had check with Penrite do as well....

Nuh, we'll fix that - you'll be modifying in no time As Ralph said, RP oil has gone farking stupid in price. Plenty of decent options for our cars. I've used the Nulon 10W-40 fully syn since about 5,000k. Loves it - never burns a drop. Handy in the 6L container also as the I6 takes around 6.5L. I just buy one of the 1L top ups as well which gives me two changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service at every 5k and comes out as it went in. The car cops a bit of a flogging and even done a day at the drags in it and I love the royal purps have full confidence in it. As the others said though it is farkin expensive and could prob get an alternative oil that's just as good for half the price. I'll keep running the RP though 10w40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem with it and did once leave it in for 20000km! It did come out black but it actually wasn't to bad considering the shell oil I just dropped from my turbo territory was stinking and black... It is expensive and I would do changes at 10-12k like I was doing with just daily driving. I am running the Nulon 10-40 in the TT now and it smells nice and clean for once plus I cant afford the RP now unfortunately.Maybe buy it in bulk for a cheaper price?
