Thicker stuff
Just a few more to finish up....
Penrite 10W40 full synthetic with 1240ppm zinc
Enough oil, time to relax on the harbour at sunset
I envy your oil choice down under.
Shelves full of high zinc high HTHS goodness.

Thanks so much for all the pics, Shannow!
You guys are so spoiled for thicker oil choices - up here it is all 0W-20 through 10W-30; and barely any 10W-40 or higher.
I know with cold temps we don't have as much use for thicker oils, but I wish we had some more higher viscosity choices for cars that get older and 'noisy'.
Love the 10L jugs, they look awesome.

I feel that Australian oil is suitable for use in Japan as a result of various situations, such as summer hot and humid climate, price, shipping speed and so on.
Now I am using Australian oil Penrite HPR10 for the first time, but my car is comfortably driving.
Oil from Australia makers such as Penrite and Nulon are not sold in Japan.
When I purchased Penrite, I also considered Nulon, but because I knew that molybdenum was added a lot, I saw purchase.
Since addition of molybdenum to oil is controversial, so,,,
Which oil is popular in Australia?

Not going there, I got enough weirdness today at the retail establishments.
Gee, I can't imagine why!
Good work by you and SR5, I'm sure the US guys in particular find our vast range of oils quite interesting.

Castrol among Japanese car guy is not so well reputed for some reason.
In rumors it is said that regular Castrol products sold in Japan are different from those sold abroad.
