15W40 ... i wish i had the time to replace it every 5,000km ... but it ends up getting changed every 10,000km (or dead on 2 months apart).
The ute gets driven every single day ... and with a minimum of 150km per day (that's just to get to and from work) ... my other job I "average" around 300-350km every other day ... some days more (ocassionally over 1000km per day). My oil never gets black ... is always golden.
