HPR10 (10W50) is what I'd use for that car. I use HPR Gas 10 for both my AUs as they are dual fuel. Here's a link to Penrite's recommendations for AUs. I checked it and they recommend HPR 10. http://www.penritedata.com/au/db/veh...189&x=231&y=12 Not sure about the oil burning though. I suppose you checked the filter to see if it's secure and the sump bolt? If you've done that and you've no leaks, you may have dropped some on the headers etc when filling last week and now have the burning smell. Just a suggestion. If that's not the case, I'm not sure what to recommend, sorry. It's just strange that all this happened after the oil change though! Definately change the oil though. All the best with it. GK
