    Topping off an engine using PENRITE HPR 10 10W-50

    I am using PENRITE HPR 10 10W-50 in my BA XR6T. I just bought 20l and have 1l, so just enough for 3 oil changes. It generally doesnt burn oil. But, if I had to add a liter at one time, is there any other oil that is safe to mix, or is that not an option?

    Should I change my oil?

    I was advised to change it every 15,000kms as I am only doing around 25,000kms a year and using really good oil. ATM I have done around 13,000kms since the last oil change but the oil is still very very clean. Should I change it anyway at 15, or leave a little longer? Its a Ford XR6 turbo sedan...
