This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

The pricing is also crazy as its often on special for $46 AUD ($32 USD) for 5 litres at Supercheap Auto, not that is a major consideration, but sure makes the regular low mileage 6 months changes super cheap

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone used this oil in their 996? Seems similar in theory to DT40 https://www.penriteoil.com.au/produc...full-synthetic

POST 2Original post

Yep. I live in Australia and have used it in my 2001 cab for 18mths with oil changes every 6 mths regardless of mileage. 100% Australian owned company so unsure of its availability beyond these shores. I�m no expert but my engine runs quiet, pressure is good and Typical Data seems to confirm it�s a decent oil (see attachment)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the feedback Joe, I've heard good things also and its also MB 229.5 approved which suits our family SUV as well and makes keeping plenty on hand when its on sale cost effective. The trend seems to be going towards 5W-40 rather than 0W-40 in our climate in a lot of European cars. The pricing is also crazy as its often on special for $46 AUD ($32 USD) for 5 litres at Supercheap Auto, not that is a major consideration, but sure makes the regular low mileage 6 months changes super cheap
