Really? If you want simple information contact Penrite. If you post on a forum you get rambling discussions...

If your question has been answered, whats the problem?

Now that the OP's question has been answered let's get on to chip oil. [biggrin]

No harm, no foul. Play on!

But seriously, after your question went around the houses, SimmAus asked if anyone was using a 40 weight and the replies started. That happens.

Yawn. Here we go again.

I know a lab tech that used to work at a mentioned oil company, repco is rebranded exactly the same oil

Makes life easy for them with a price match, not the same product, so if Supercheap puts it on sale, they don't need to match it.

Mattress companies are the best at this game

I was seeing a fairly consistent sump temp of ~121C pulling the van home from Albany yesterday. If that's sump temp, then the oil temp in the bearing is going to be "quite a bit warmer". I was doing some work with a guy a few years ago who put thermocouples under the main shells to measure the oil spilled directly from the bearings and he was clocking more than a 20C difference between the crank and sump temps.

Wonder what the difference in KV and HTHS is at 150C?
