I use Penrite HPR40 and I use the whole bottle of 5 litres.

Everyone is different, just need to find one your comfortable with which requires alot of experimenting. I can remember having about 10 left over oil bottles lying in my backyard all of different brands at one stage.

Try using the search function and type in "oil" and see how many people have asked this same quesiton in the past.

LOL... Castrol GTX 20w50. Steve kan reccomends this oil, especially for hard driving. Since our engines get hotter than normal, a thicker oil should be used. Lst time he was here and was tuning aa guy had 10w30, and it got so thin on the dyno that his oil pressure started dropping. 20w50 fixed it. 5 bottles
