Hi mate the recommend oil for your car is 15w-40 or 15w-50 but since you think the engine is a bit worn I would go the 15w-50.
The brand of oil you use depends on what you like really. Penrite hpr is a great oil I used to use that all the time but I have since switched to Valvoline. I used to use Duratech or Duraguard cant remember what it was called but they have since changed all there line up so now I use engine armor. The only reason I switch to Valvoline was because of a magazine article I read awhile back that tested how well the oils protected you engine and for price per/L Valvoline killed it.

Its not a Jap engine, its an aussie slap together.
No need to use unrealistic light weight oils. try semi Shell Helix Plus 15-50

For me i changed to penrite hpr 15 15w-60 semi synthetic and wouldnt go back. Its stoped lifter noise i used to have nice and quiet on start up and gives me good oil pressure all year round and you dont have your pants pulled down over the price ether.

nulon 15w50 fully synthetic. Im using that along with a friction additive(safe to use with full synthetic). i noticed smoother reving, and a quieter engine slightly better economy.
my motor seems to be burning a little bit of oil with it though ( 1 l every 7500 or every service) which i would expect from a 210000km original motor. im not turning back from nulon on this motor, and when the new rebuilt donk goes in, it'll be mobile 1 until it hits 120k then the nulon 15w50. p.s my motor is not nursed around |

I use GTX2 Castrol as thats what the ford dealer uses here... Found it to be great stuff... Reliable and does the job well... I think its a 20W50 from memory...
I too have a slight oil burning problem... It was owned by elderly people before me and they would've nursed it... They put an original 300k on it... I haven't given it the same treatment and as such it uses a little...

Dont want to open another topic, but do you guys reckon I should be using synthetic oil in my EB XR6, has 178 on the clock now. I've been putting Castrol GTX2 20w-50 in it.
Which alternatives would you all recommend? Cheers guys

The last 2 oil changes I've done in my ED, I've used Pennzoil 15w/40.....Works really well and would recommend it for sure. They use to make it in 6 litre containers but now it's only available in 5 litres (Shame really because the 4.0 requires 5.5 litres).
