However I was thinking of trying Penrite HPR 5 next, which is a 5W40 full synthetic. What are your thoughts people? Do you guys think a DC5 would benefit from a full synthetic oil?

Stick to the 10w 40.

DC5's from factory came with a 10w30 or 10w40 rating so i would not go any thinner (such as a 5w)
