You can't have purchased that in 2001 :p Do you mean that it's a 2001 model and you bought it in 2007?

The Penrite 10w-50 is a great oil. BMW and Mercedes approve Penrite for their engines so it must be pretty good stuff.

I spoke at great lengths with the technical department at Penrite, and my 160,000 klm AU2 V8 on dual fuel they suggested HPRgas-10.

That is a great price! I will have to have a chat to my guys LOL
Having just bought the ute, although it has a service history I didn't know what the dealer had used so - I have now gone through and replaced every fluid with penrite from front to rear! I love the stuff!
