Omg! I won't be wasting more money on castrol edge 10w60. Compared to penrite ten tenths 5w60 and hpr 10 it's the worst for consumption. Just over 1000k and it was 1/3 below max. I'll go back to hpr10 which barely used a drop.

For sure. I had to crawl under the car and check for leaks. I checked the oil twice in 2000k on hpr10 (oil bottle and funnel in hand) and returned the bottle to the shed without adding a drop

Nah. 100k round trip 5-6 days a week at 100k/h.  And the usage was way less doing the same on hpr10.  I've been using penrite exclusively for my last three cars, TF magna v6, Ford Probe, BA Falcon I sold that tank before doing an oil change I disliked it so much lots of power but handled like a brick and had no soul. The Probe was a beautiful car with awesome handling but it had been badly neglected by previous owners and I got sick of fixing it, I resprayed it in acrylic and got to the cut and buff stage and couldn't find the motivation to keep going. Of course the new owner has had no issues and finished the respray and I want it back lol.
