5 in 10 ...Pete I have to ask, is that how the Poms would say a straight 10w50 grade ?
Pete wasn't writing 5 in 10, he was writing SIN10 which is Penrite 10w-70 synthetic. I have read somewhere that the Aussie importers have okayed it instead of the AGIP.
When I bought my Breva 1100, the dealer used dino for the first 5000km to bed the engine in then synthetic. At 17,000km, she still throws out oil if I put in the correct amount!
