hello friar
my answer is very much going to depend on which penrite product you have used so far, as the rating specification of what you have used will be relevant.
the reason is that the hilux really should not go past 5000 k as they are renowned for soot build up in the oil, even to the point that the oil if used for too long may even "gel" (thicken up).
if the oil you have been using is of a low detergency type you may not have a clean engine inside and when you switch to a medium detergency oil such as our cruiser oil, you will notice your oil getting dirtier, sooner, and may even have to go a few short changes intervals to clean up.
if the oil you have been using was an already medium detergent oil, then you will not have to be concerned switching to our cruiser oil.
in any event, i know that you will notice a difference in performance if you do switch to cruiser.
if the oil was low detergency and a CG4 rated oil, and you did not want to take the chance on a higher detergency oil, then i would say our Diesel Super, even though it really is not the right recomendation for your vehicle.
your choice, russell
