    penrite oil for V8

    i know a lot of you guys highly rate penrite oil, so i thought i'd give it a try at the next change. question is though; which type? these oils are available here in the u.k. i just need to know which. perhaps you could take a look at; http://www.penrite.co.uk/nextpage.php?navlink=products and let me know.
    thanks.

    try the Aussie penrite link here http://www.penritedata.com/au/db/veh...d2_s.php?cid=9
    select your vehicle and it'll give recommended oils
    The UK one is definitely lacking in anything after 1970.

    I was using HPR50 in my rangie as it had high k's, made it run a lot smoother though it may be a bit thick for the cold climate of the UK.

    Being a Colder climate where you are you can afford to run a lighter weight say HPR 10w 50 over here though Iwould say a HPR 15w 60
