I use Penrite - for the XR8 (on LPG) I used HPR Gas 10; for the NF V8, also on LPG, I will use the same.

The Nulon did nothing for me, I didnt find it to be a wonderful oil or a bad one either. I use Penrite HPR10 for now, before I was using Shell Helix 15w50 and it was the best I used.

Was using Nulon 10w40 full synthetic but after fitting the roller rockers I changed to 15w50, still Nulon but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Used to use Penrite HPR 10. But for some reason I switched to GTXIII??? They both do the job well in my rig anyway.

I use Pennzoil 10w40 semi synthetic with a purolator "one" premium oil filter, use an engine flush every change and change the oil every six months or 3-5000ks maximum.
My engine seems to sound and run the happiest with the Pennzoil. I'd like to try one of those K&N oil filters. Anybody know who sells 'em?
