Engine: Manual Z18xe
Current oil: Castrol Magnatec 10w 40
Previous oil: Vavoline Durablend 10w 40
Feeling: the valvoline was ok no probs, but now the Castrol Magnatec is casuing the engine to run a bit rough and idle bit poorly.
Next I will try the

Engine: C16XE/Z18XE
Oil: Penrite HPR10
Feeling: Have run Penrite oils for the last couple of years, the C16 ran really smooth on it and will be running it with the Z18 once it's finished.
Engine: D4CB (Hyundai iLoad diesel)
Oil: Penrite HPR Diesel 5
Feeling: One of the few certified oils for this engine (requires ACEA B4 equivalent or better), I stick with what I know and was also recommended by the guy who rebuilt the engine for me. Runs smooth, doesn't burn excessively and get around 7500-10000km between changes without too much drama. On high mileage engines, Hyundai dealers recommend changes at 15000kms, but when you do that and your engine craps itself like mine did, don't expect them to cover you on the warranty. Now I change around 7500kms, which is around every 10 weeks or so and I do it all myself.

z18xe - castrol magnatech 5w40
Ok, with the company i work with now, and for the race team at uni, i have done bulk research in oils in the last couple of years.
The general conclusion is that the best off the shelf oil for performance applications is the Mobil 1 Synthetic range.
The off the shelf studies we did meant we didnt include Royal Purple or Red Line.
Used to use Motul Turbo lite 400
Using Castrol now
FG F6 310 + Peri Peri = 406kw & 890Nm atw
1/4 mile 11.7 @ 119 mph on factory 19" Dunlops 10/08/11 WSID
Penrite yes
Liquimoly, no cos not many places stock it, were looking at oils that youd be almost garunteed to find anywhere in Aus.
Motul wasnt tested by us either.
It to do with the "Class" of oil. Redline and Royal Purple are class 5 oils, best available atm, Mobil Syn is class 4, all the other off the shelfs are class 3 or lower.
Go Royal Purple!!'
