I've heard Penrite HPR30 is the way to go. It's a little more expensive then your average brands, but if it's good then meh.

Yeah I also use HPR30 and have never broken an engine component using penrite oil and I give my car a floggin at least once every couple of days. Change your oil every 5000km's too if you drive it hard, filter every 15,000. If you drive normal and just comute then you'll get 10,000km's out of your oil.
