For me the issue was (at the time) they could not source 1L bottles so could only get the 5L and needed more for the oil change. And I believe the EcoBoost needed 5.4L on a change and now my TDCi needs 5.5L on an oil change.

That is the only real reason I went with Penrite HPR5 which is readily available in a 6L bottle; http://www.penriteoil.com.au/product...&id_products=1

The first time I did an oil change with the Total, I topped it up with some leftover oil - it only needed about 300ml. But I bought a 1 litre bottle last time.

The TBN and sulphated ash levels of HPR5 aren't that much higher than the C3 specs, probably because it's a full synthetic. It also looks like a perfectly good oil for my motorbikes!
