    I know those who use it swear by it, the green color is very interesting. Thanks for the input, wasn't sure if it was suitable. Will give it a shot!

    AU 17' Accord V6 - What oil viscosity?

    Just an update for you guys many kilometers and oil changes later! Started off on the Penrite Enviro+ GF-S 5w30, needed a1000ml top up after 2000km. Moved back to shell as i had used in my prior vehicles and saw no noticeable oil consumption all the way up to my 7500km service interval! Did an...

    AU 17' Accord V6 - What oil viscosity?

    Is the Shell ECT C3 a good fit i thought that was mainly a diesel focused oil? Used the Penrite last change but Shell is on sale now. Otherwise i can just grab the helix 5w-30 was a little concerned with the cylinder shutoff though.

    It’s very uncommon for the viscosity to be on the oil cap down here.

    AU 17' Accord V6 - What oil viscosity?

    I feel really stupid asking this but what 'specification' would i want to look for i.e. BMWLL01, GF-5, MS-6395, etc I do drive quite enthusiastically and its not uncommon to go for a weekend mountain drive.

    AU 17' Accord V6 - What oil viscosity?

    I had an 07 v6 also and was using 5w-40 in that and got some good mileage out of the vehicle... However with this VCM system and modern tolerances i didn't want to push my luck. Our accords are the same as the USA spec vehicles size and all its the Accord euro that was different.

    AU 17' Accord V6 - What oil viscosity?

I have moved onto a newer 5 series still with an N52 however the indy mechanic i used put LM Toptec 4200 in it 6500km ago (No...

    E60 525i N52 AUS OIL

    Thanks for the reply mate. I was also looking at Mobil 1 0w40 and Catrol Edge 5w40, is the Penrite a 'better' oil for my conditions? I'm about to do a 4000km return trip so i really want the car to be happy with what is in it I found the Castrol 0w40 to be allot quieter at cold startup.
