Re: Egine oil for P6B
I contacted Penrite's UK office some time ago to ask what their recommendation would be for the V8, reply as follows...
"Dear Stan
Many thanks for your interest in Penrite Oil Company's products, if I might deal with the question of the zinc additive question first.
All of our common engine oils contain the correct quantity of zinc in the form of ZDDP (zinc di-thiophosphate) and I attach our sheet concerning this additive and our oils. You should not use any type of diesel oils as they might possible "clean" your engine too much.
Our Recommendation for your P6B engine is our Classic HPR 40 which is a detergent 25W70 grade of oil, I attach the product information sheet for this product as well as our information sheets for the auto gearbox (ATF 33) and rear axle (Hypoid 80W-90).
I attach our current stockist list for your information.
I hope the above answers your questions sufficiently but if you would like to ask any further questions please email me.
Happy Penrite Motoring.
John Hankin"
