    Can't speak or suggest why low power mate. But I've discussed that oil with you I think. I gave Penrite 15-50 a go, and its the only oil my motor seemed to "Use". And the catch can filled up faster after each service.
    I can’t remember exactly but it’s definitely over 200k.
    Low power as it hasn’t got what it used too. But that just could be me…
    I do know for a fact that no motor is the same and will react differently to different oils. Probably 20 years ago I did some sort of course/ training with Castrol and their experts and we went through all the whys and hows motors react differently. And why you need at least 3 oil changes to get best results before making a decision on what oil. Not that I can remember most of it now. But the 15/50 seems to be the best for mine. I just make sure the engine has warmed a little before driving off into the sunset.
