I'm not sure what oil you had in it previously, just wanna compare with 5W-20. Are there any tappet noises?

G'day Briteway....
Was using Lucas 5W-20 full synthetic, excellent stuff but continuity of supply a little problematic here in Perth. Currently priced @ $14.00/liter. With the Lucas = no Hemi tick, MDS easily actuated....
I haven't really had the opportunity to compare over a distance/time that would reveal any significant comparative data with the Penrite 0W-30.
Missus has gone back to Uni so She is hogging the Jeep.....I am stuck with my work AWD Kluger....uuuuugh
I have noticed the Hemi tick now while warming-up from cold and then really quietens down when the viscosity passes through the 20 -30 range ? No noticeable difference with MDS behavior....yet.
The Penrite was $12.00/liter from Auto-One. Also happy that the Penrite is full synthetic and would really rush through the oil galleries on cold start-up.
I actually don't pay much attention anymore to the Evic fuel consumption I just
KNOW IT IS NOT GOOD !....hahahahahahahaha
(I'll let you know if there is much difference)
