More important than what oil is changing it frequently. Oil and filter every 5000k's is pretty much when most people will change. I used Penrite in the GU but am now using Delo in the Mav.

Welcome to the forum mate. You might like to do an introduction. I use Penrite in all my vehicles.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

Castrol Magnatec 15w40 here. When the old ZD was stripped down the mechanic commented on how clean the inside of the motor was. So it must be a good thing.

Fresh oil has to be better as you suggest. We do the same using Penrite 15W50 and OEM filters. Might cost a bit to do so regular but a rebuild isn't in the budget especially a huge $ hit all at once. We have seen what it has cost to replace Roofy's, gets away pretty quick.

When doing the 10000 oil change I do the oil and filter but when doing the 5000 change should I do the oil filter too ?
