hi there, just wondering which oil would be recommended. Im on 5w 30 at this moment and i drove 3-4k and the oil dropped down to 1/4 above the lower dot. Would you consider this as burning heaps and should I move on to 5w 40?

it depends on how many KMs your engine has traveled mate, how many KMs has it done?

Yeah may as well, give it a try and see how much you burn.

5W40 or 10w40 should do the trick

I would run a Nulon 10W60 or 15W50 full synthetic for the mileage on your engine

Nulon any good? Seems very cheap fo 6L compare to castrol

The 6L bottles are either a high quality mineral or semi synthetic, where as Full Synthetic only comes in 5L bottles. Still a very good oil compared to other oils of similar grading.

Penrite HPR or 10/10ths series of oils are also very good value. 15W60 is very good
