alot of people use penrite
I personally use fuchs 10w 30 synthetic which at 45 buks is cheap and works quite well. If you want to be safe mobil 1 synthetic is good stuff but you have to pay $$ for it

I've been using penrite all my driving life and never had any problems but I meet a person the other day who deals in oil and he was saying that penrite use a lot of detergents in the oil he recommended motul. But wait theres more you need to know if they ran mineral or synthetic oil highly recommend that you do not mix these you can end up glazing your bore or bearing damage. I found out the hard way. Swapping styles of oils is possible but expensive you need to change the oil often to stop oil contamination.

i'm using penrite 15-something at the moment,either synth or semi synth.
buy it in 20 litre drums, works out much much cheaper.

i wouldnt recommend diesel oil as it has a high amount of detergants and dispersants needed for the excess carbon in diesels.

Holy crap i didn't read that post diesel oil is for diesel engines as evosti said they are every high in detergents if you could use any oil in any application they would have just made multi oil but their is not such thing because they all have there own Pacific duties to perform.

I've heard that mobil 1 is a bit too thin for most turbo engines, tend to burn a bit (not practical experience talking here).
I use penrite HPR15, burn almost nothing, warms up quickly... all good.
