Re:
I use Penrite 5W-30 for one change at the beginning of winter, and 5W-40 for the other 2 (1 spring, 1, at the end of summer), as summer is long and hot here in Oz. But if I don't use it much, the spring oil can last till Autumn.
They get a bit worn at age, mine is at 200k so need a bit more than normal TLC.
Synthetic only matters if you want to increase time between changes, but should never be done with a small sump and filter like the QR25DE's. False economy to try to save on <4L worth, better to keep the changes up to stop the buildup in the filter and keep contamination in the oil low.
