Being on the coast in central Queensland I would assume something like a HPR10 full Synthetic would better suit the hotter climates. Would this make senses or am better off running with the 5-40 or 15-40 ???
Cheers Ian

Anyone tried the Penrite HPR DIESEL 10 10W-40 (Semi Syn.)? Seems that is the oil that the Penrite website is suggesting for my 2008 Triton GLX-R (3.2L Diesel). Specs seem reasonably close to the Synforce Cruiser Oil (which I can't find here in Adelaide).
I have basically narrowed it down to the following oil options:
Caltex Delo 400
Penrite HPR DIESEL 10 10W-40 (Semi Syn.)
HPR DIESEL 5 5W-40 (Semi Syn.)
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers

Not trusting my judgment on that though, I tend to change every 7,500 kms. Which I know is too soon, but aside from money and the environment it can't really hurt can it?
The automatic alert sounds cool. My first thought was that turbidity might serve as some sort of measure a sensor could read but I suppose there's a lot more to oil than how dirty it gets. You'd probably have to measure 20 different things on the fly for it to work. Which in turn probably explains why they haven't invented it just yet.

They have invented it, the little oil can on your dash. If it comes on you have no oil and you are stuffed
