Bit of an update.
So I switched from the Penrite HPR-10 (10w-50 full synthetic) I was using to Penrite Racing10 (10w-40 full sythentic street/track oil) and I honestly noticed no difference...
Mind you the Racing10 was about $86 for a 5L bottle, yikes.
I keep reading all over the world that most people in the UK and Holden here in Aus run a semi-synthetic by choice.
Welp some Castrol Magnatec 10w-40 semi-snyth came on special for $18 a bottle which is amazingly cheap, it is normally around $46.00 (one of the most expensive semi's second only to what I get at Crazy Horse every other Saturday night).
Long story short my car was due for a service and it's now running $18 Castrol Magnatec 10w-40 semi-synthetic and is actually running quieter on idle than it was previously...
I will check in and let you guys know how it looks when I drop it out in 5000klms.
