Hey laz, i have a 2001 TJ 3.5 V6 Manual Sports.

It now has 116,000km and is due for a service (just oil and fluid changes)

I have bought some Penzoil Synthetic Blend 10w-40 for $34.00 for 5 Litres, i also bought Engine Flush and a Filter.

Does anyone else use this oil and would it be ok for my car? if not what would you reccommend?

P.S i have had 3 turbo cars in the last year and i always used Royal Purple on them but i didnt think a Magna would need that good a oil, so i just bought this Penzoil stuff, was that a good choice?

Hey mate

I have never used that oil before but man there are alot of threads covering this. Anyway i use Penrite HPR10 since i bought the car with 20,000 on the clock it now has 80,000 not a single problem, hmmm makes me think i should do an oil change soon :)

Thats my 2c for ya

Cheers

Heath

10w-40 or 15w-50 should be fine mate

I do know of one member on here who spent $160 on redline oil for his 2nd gen 4cyl and found it fantastic....so in future maybe get that more expensive oil and just see how the car feels

I use Motul Turbo Lite...best drop i've ever used..though is a light oil.

Motul or ELF oil.......

i use penrite hpr10 also better oil than the castrol magnatec i useto use

Motul something..... whatever they have in the big 40gal drums at the workshop that works on my car (think I heard them say V3000 but I'm not sure).

Ugh not another one of these threads. (sorry):doubt:
Do a search dude, there are TONS of these threads.
I have even given charts of recommended oils.

All zooms down to your budget.

3rd gens and second gens should use semi synthetic grades.
3rd gens can go fully synthetic if wanted to.

Go the Penrite HPR10. Good stuff. Replace every 5000kms along with the oil filter.

Am using Pennzoil model "SUV" which I think is a 10W40 too, in my TH 3.5 at 145,000km.
Engine sounds happy, no oil consumption last 4300km and no tappet rattling noticed.

SUV is about same pricerange too.
