Decent price on the Penrite Enviro+ 5-30w at $36.99 its getting harder to find deals on oil lately, prices are creeping up. I have used this oil in the past its good enough for the cars i service, the Penrite bottles have the service sticker on them comes in handy.

          For the past few years I've been lazy and use an oil extractor (got given a 6L one, just googling most seem ridiculously expensive but this 9L one seems reasonably priced) No mess, no crawling under cars.

          One of our cars replacing the filter is easy, turn the wheel and it's accessible in the wheel arch. The other is a pain, hard to reach and loosen by hand and a bugger to get those universal filter wrenches in there so I printed one for that filter, makes the job so much easier.

          Just dont be in a rush when filling the oil. It can take a while to run down so checking the level may look like it's not enough and you end up overfilling. The level will drop a little when you run it and it fills the filter too.

            @bamzero: Cool! Thanks for that, it’s a Honda Jazz (late 2014) so should be fairly easy to do (watching YouTube videos). We also have a 2015 Pathfinder but that seems more complicated (even though you probably still can by staring the wheel and not needing to remove the wheel). I’ll start off with the Jazz and see how I go.

  • HsvPete on 10/09/2023 - 08:07

    Very versatile oil suits all my cars - Clubsport, Silverado , Golf GTI and even the misses new RAV4 hybrid when it arrives. Been using it for years and no complaints.

      Don't use it with the RAV4 Hybrid, the A25 motor was specifically designed for 0w-16. Even the manual says you can use 0w-20 for short periods of time, but to flush and swap back to 0w-16 on your next change.

      Penrite makes a great hybrid specific 0w-16 that I use in ours.

      • HsvPete on 10/09/2023 - 20:04

        Thanks for the heads up - appreciated

      • thetrain on 12/09/2023 - 18:42

        Actually A25 is not that sensitive. Toyota Camry manual (same A25 engine) says 0W16, 0W20, 5W20, 5W30, 10W30

        My Toyota dealership uses 0W20 which is probably a good balance between fuel economy and operation under high speed/extreme load conditions

        • FuRyZ on 16/09/2023 - 14:14

          I understand one of the big reasons for moving to thinner oil is because much of the ancillary pumps on the hybrid are all electric, as their is no aux belt. The AC compressor, the oil pump, etc all need to continue to operate while the engine is off, so they are all electric now. The A25A-FKS motor on the non-hybrid is still belt driven.

          Another factor is how the engine operates. In the hybrid, the eCVT manages the engine RPM, the engine will never operate near its actual rev limiter. The engine will never see any sort of extreme loads as the electric motors are there to do a lot of the heavy lifting. On the other hand the engine will cycle on and off constantly and has to be able to operate from cold quickly to produce electricity for the electric motors.

          I think outside of a heavy towing situation, the hybrid will never need a thicker oil, and given the changes to the oil system it makes sense why the manual wording is very strict about using a 0w-16.

          • JIMB0 on 17/09/2023 - 08:39

            @FuRyZ: The 2GR V6 engine still has a water pump belt in hybrid form.

      Also its been a year since the oil change and the car has done just 3K KM. Can I push it for another few months?

      At 3K per year, I'd have absolutely no concern about changing every third year if you have fully synthetic oil in there.
      It's very stable and it doesn't really degrade with age.

      • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2023 - 10:51

        Cool thanks mate. I will wait till early next year.

      • DeadlySaber on 11/09/2023 - 11:56

        I do similar Ks, about 3,500 KMs per year, only short trips less than 5km, mainly cold start in the morning and afternoon. It's very hard on the engine. If you drive the same condition, I'd suggest change oil every year. I only use fully synthetic oil too.

        • 0jay on 11/09/2023 - 15:02

          Primarily short trip life for an engine is very rough, that's true but oil changes are necessary largely due to oil breakdown due from high temperatures and combustion by-products.

          While it's good to do regular oil changes as a rule, I don't really think there's any particular reason that short trips (low aggregate kms) make it more necessary (if using fully synth) or that it will protect your engine under such punishing conditions.

    • shxhshzhz on 10/09/2023 - 12:54

      If it's still under warranty, you should follow the log book time interval, otherwise the dealer could deny your warranty claim saying you didn't service in time. E.g. some cars have 12 month intervals, some have 6.

      Yeh I price matched oil against Repco last year, Autobarn oil filters are cheaper so was going there anyway.

      Autobarn will not price match for me stating the SCA next door has no more stock because I came from there. The manager was also very rude when he refused because I told him at that time another SCA store does show to have stock and he quipped "then go over there to buy it".

    Tried to price match at Autobarn but the manager rudely refused just on the basis that the SCA next door has no more stock. At that time another SCA branch did have stock. I checked Autobarn's T&C, they only mentioned competitor must have stock and SCA is the competitor and they do have stock, just not the store nearby.

    In the end went over to Repco and got a price match there. Repco staff did say that price is just too good, he had to double check the conditions again for price match before doing the price match but in the end he did it.

    Question: when you do the oil change where do you record it?
