6 litres full synth, a well regarded oil, and Aussie made. 50% off $88 RRP. Sure, we are all waiting for a real deal on oil, but they have all seemed to have dried up as of late.

Note it appears this is labelled Vantage specifically for Repco, to avoid price matching SCA. However it is the same full synth oil.

LATEST oil specification technology exceeding API SN and ACEA A3/B4 for maximum wear protection, minimum sludge formation and reduced piston deposits
FULL SYNTHETIC base oil for outstanding protection and longer life
LOW SHEAR VI Improvers reduce oil consumption and maintains oil pressure

    technically not.

    however if your car is older though: over 200,000k then you will want a slightly thicker oil IE 10w-40. if you use a thinner oil you on an older engine will have more leaks, and more "blow by"

    hope that helps!

      I have been using 5w 30 on my Accord Euro so far. Just crossed 290,000 km today so thinking of switching to a thicker fluid for the next oil change

        Or Accord Euro is 200k+ km. I've run either 5w-30 or 5w-40 for the past 100k. It doesn't make a noticeable difference

          @brad1-8tsi: Mine at almost 300k km. 5W 30 works fine but burns a bit. Caused an exhaust blocked code. Cleared the code and used a Penrite Cat cleaner. So far so good.

            @Mortin: Ours is as sweet as a nut. Has been in the family since new. I had the rocker cover off a few weeks back to replace the gasket and there's no sludge or varnish.

      Common misconception that 10w40 is "thicker" than 5w40. The number before the W is the winter weight, i.e. when it is cold. Cold 5 weight is still waaaaay thicker than warm 40 weight. Due to this you want the thinnest W weight as it will circulate better through your cold engine before it thins out at operating temps.

      You can actually look at the data on the manufacturers' websites to see how viscous oil is at different temps. It's all there. I will concur that if the oil is not changed regularly the viscosity boosters may break down and very worn 5w40 may be thinner than 10w40 but for all reasonable use cases, 5w40 is going to be better.

      tldr: HPR5 for everything

        The 10w40 may be better in an older engine that has minor leaks.
