I've stunned you ..eh


First up ... I'm a Penrite luver for oils ... But when I got this ride of mine .. she had about 220 on the clock
Did a oil change and stuck in Penrite, result was consuming a bit of oil, plus the motor didn't seem happy with the mix,


So I tried this oil (Gulf Western / Engine life Extender 25/60) to see what would happen .... What can I say, Turns out that my motor, just loves this mix
80.000 k's later ..... No smoke, good oil pressure, no rattles, Performs as new .... I always run this oil in my ride

You will find that it has additives in it to help compensate for older parts ... and the motor gets better with time /// But it is not a cure for broken parts
As I said, if you recon your up for a rebuild ... this will cost you $25 +oil filter to give it a go




BUT .... If I was to recondition the motor ... I would go back to the Penrite
