penrite oil for V8

jasper110 · 21st May 2007, 06:57 PM

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.

Have run mine on HPR30 for over 150,000 kays,
now at 280,000, needs no top-up inbetween 5 kay services.

Ambient temps may be your problem,,

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

running a lighter weight oil, would i not risk it leaking out of every little gap?

**Ken** · 22nd May 2007, 09:36 PM

Oil isnt oil though I would say its going to leak lighter or heavier shouldnt make a difference
