I run an Isuzu NPR 250 to tow my RV.

At my last oil change (not by Isuzu dealership) I was told that Castrol RX plus was ok for use with this truck with DPF.

Now I'm being told that this oil is not suitable as it is not low ash content ! I am no where near an Isuzu dealer so am looking at dropping the oil myself and refilling with a suitable alternative.

Called in Repco yesterday and was recommended a Penrite enviro full synthetic 10-40W. Low sars or saps ?

They have to order it in specially and it is very expensive.

Question is there an alternative mineral brand out there that is more available and maybe a bit cheaper.

The log book states an API. CJ 4 oil. and I'm unsure of going full synthetic.

The truck only has 20k on the clock currently, but I had the oil changed for peace of mind as we were going across the Nullabor.
