Yep thats rite ken

right then, HPR30 it is then. i've found a place over here where i can get it as well. (the oil that is!!)

For a V8 you cant go past Mobil 1.
I have run this oil in three different V8 engines I have owned over the years and even tried to kill one of them without success from over revving and driving it as hard as I could but it would not break.
Its a proven product. You get what you pay for !.

no thanks, I'll stick to my Delvac 1 for the same $$

hopefully that will last me (BUB91) around a year,,,

I buy my hpr50 in 20l drums for around 90 bucks straight from the penrite rep which saves me a few bucks and gets near 3 oil changes running the bigger sump

I was just wondering about your comment "bigger Sump".
Did you fit a bigger sump or was it standard?
If you fitted it was it for engine cooling?
Did it work?
