Hi All. Not sure about other states but in NSW Repco have Penrite HPR Diesel 5 which is the full synthetic oil to suit a lot of later model Diesel engines on special at present. $59 for the 10 litre container. That is good value for anyone interested. (no affiliation etc, just one happy customer) regards,Bob.

I dont know why its so bloody confusing,I believe its Penrites fault.I notice in supermarkets now that there so much garbage (writng) on the cans,plastics etc,i thought they were going to make it easier for us.I came out with two shampoo's the other day and my eyesight is fine.The brand name was BIG but the word shampoo and conditioner was the size of a beez dick...Anyway back to the oil (lol)..HPR 15 is semi-synthetic.Ive been using it for years now and hav then platic container right in front of me.....

Cheers

Probably another case of deceptive communication (I've seen so much of it - I believe nothing anymore)...... the section "Advanced formula synthetic performance engine oil" is probably purposefully misleading - it doesn't actually say that the oil is synthetic.
