“I have used Penrite Oils for the past two years now. I use it everywhere though out my Super 1650 Off-Road Racing buggy – In the Toyota Silver Top race engine, The Race prepared Porsche G50-52 5 speed transmission and also in the brake and power steering systems. Before using the oils that Penrite have allowed me to use, we were having all sorts of drama with the transmission, I couldn’t finish a race without breaking or damaging something inside, but now with this new Penrite sin 80 gear oil that I am running in there I can drive hard and fast all day long without having to worry about anything going to fail because I know I have Penrite on my side.”

Gross Racing

Here, at Gross Racing we have a simple policy – "Get The Best". This applies to equipment as well as members of our team. In racing, the smallest of misjudgement can be costly. In the past, we have used various, very expensive oils with one of them as a final choice for two years. You can understand everyone's apprehension when we had the opportunity to test your Ten Tenths oil. After all, oil is not something where you can quantify immediate results. However, it can be a long term gain or loss. We changed to Penrite with filter change and engine flush. This means that we changed the oil filter twice and flushed the bike with Penrite. Bike was run up to working temperature and cooled down, twice. So, the whole system was free of previous oil and engine given a complete lube. Apart from the oil change, nothing else was done to the bike. It was the way we had it at the previous test. We went for a test at Queensland Raceway. On the first run our rider, Brad Gross, came back to the pits asking what did you change? Our engineer Leif Martinson told him that the only thing we did change was the oil. Brad's statement was: "The bike is faster and it revs freer" Brad is a Mechanical Engineer. He did in depth research after the test. His words were: “You cannot get better oil for a motorcycle". That was the first seal of approval. The second came after Leif looked at the engine. This was done after 1325 km of racing and testing. The engine showed no signs of wear and everything looked new. We are convinced Penrite Ten Tenths oil works. We have not been able to find an oil as good or equal to Penrite. We are with Penrite to stay.

Mitchell James Russell

Name : Mitchell James Russell
Bike : 2009 RM250
Oil : Penrite 2 stroke
Previously used : Motol 800V

As a two stoke rider I have always been a big user of some of the big name oils that have been costing a fortune in what is already a high cost sport. Recently I was introduced to a Penrite two stroke oil suitable for my bike, as soon as I started running the Penrite I had compliments from fellow riders in the improvement of the running of my bike, I find the Penrite oil doesn’t foul plugs or stall with a large oil build up in low revs which was an issue I was experiencing prior, keeps the engine running and sounding crisp and still provides the instant response straight of the throttle. I would recommend using Penrite 2stroke oils to anyone, and will continue using Penrite in the future.

Sam Heath -ASBK superstock 1000

Hi I’m Sam Heath; I race a BMW S 1000 RR in the Australian Superbike Championship in the PROSTOCK 1000 Class and we use Penrite MC-4CT Full Synthetic 5. We find using Penrite MC-4CT 5W-50 is excellent in our BMW race bike because of the high temperatures and high RPM’s we run at, we need an oil that will handle the high stresses that I put my engine through and Penrite Oil is what we choose to protect our race engines.

Mal Everingham - Evercraft Boats

As the builder of some of the fastest powerboats in this country I have tried a numerous amount of oils,in our own factory boat it is powered by a 6cylinder 2JZ Toyota turbo charged ,40PSI boost with a 5stage dry sump system running on methanol fuel RPM between 8and 9 thousand.These are very harsh conditions for any oil .I turned to using Penrite Syn 15 after a lot of dyno time and extensive racing . On engine tear down no cam wear no need to replace bearings vitually no wear and with methanol the oil doesnt foam unlike others that I have used .We are very proud to use and recommend an Australian made oil

James North - Fryzem Burnout

i have a burnout car called " fryzem" its a 1976 ss torana hatchback. it has an angry supercharged methanol 350 chev under the bonnet making 800+ horse power. its backed up by a 2 speed power glide transmission with a 3800rpm tce stall convertor. the diff is a full floating ford nine inch. the car itself is a 3/4 chassis car with the potential to run a high 8 low 9 second quarter mile pass. I use the car as a burnout car competing in competitions at the top level right across australia, earlier this year being adde to the national burnout masters lineup, placing "fryzem" into the top competitors of australia. recent success' include 4th place last weekend at shepparton spring car nationals, the list of placings over the past 12years is huge. Fryzem has become known not only as australia's tuffest burnout torana but also as the most photographed burnout car, we pride ourselves on being able to relate to our fans.

we use and recommend only penrite lubricants. the engine we use hpr30 and it is nothing short of fantastic with the methanol fuel we run. in the transmission we use dex3 penrite and penrite gear oil in the diff. even the cooling system uses a serious dose of penrite being the sin race radiator inhibitor, this stuff is amazing, in a situation where heat can be your worst enemy penrite's sin race radiator inhibitor definatly cuts the mustard. we dismantled the engine at the end of last season just to have a look and found absolutely no signs of wear anywhere, this only cements the fact that penrite's lubricants are the best of the best.

You can’t go past Penrite Oils new breed of hybrid technology antifreeze/antiboil coolant

I recently did a major service on the racecar and ‘revamped’ the machine with nothing but the best oil and coolant on the market, PENRITE. As part of the service I flushed the radiator and block and treated it to a serving of Penrites finest, their antifreeze/antiboil coolant concentrate. This product has been a proven performer and has certainly stood up to its name with me and others who share a passion for the sport of drifting. With the cars regularly being put through their paces in varying track conditions all day long, it is essential to be running the best lubricants on the market. This 4 year, long drain concentrate is a product which I would highly recommend to anyone out there who is in search of a quality antifreeze and antiboil coolant.

Many thanks once again for your help so far with the supply of oils, coolant and the marquee last weekend. Im off to Winton Raceway in two weeks for round 1 of the Vic drift championships on march 17th and 18th. My next local event is Drift Supercup on may 12th at Mallala.

To Penrite Technical Hotline,

I have been running the Sin15 and MGO 70 for a little over a fortnight now and I must say the improvement in shift quality between transmax and MGO70 is ridiculous. I am extremely pleased with the performance of the gear oil so far.

It would appear that some of the shift issues at high RPM I had been blaming on the clutch were related to the transmax.

The SIN15 is also performing very very well. The engine is running cooler and feels more willing too rev (but this could just be my perception after changing the oil) and the turbo is noticeably quieter on wind down.

Thanks again for the advice.

Unbelievable!!

I was about to fork out a couple of grand for a reco gearbox for my Clubsport and rang Penrite as a last chance option after researching the Google machine. I spoke to Tony who was extremely helpful in confirming that Penrite Motor Gear 70 was the right oil for my Tremec T56. Motor Gear 70 has been especially prepared to replace the Dextron III transmission fluid that is specificed by Tremec. It makes sense to me that you would use Automatic Transmission Fluid in an Automatic Transmission and Gearbox Oil in a Gearbox but what would I know! Well it seems that the specialists at Penrite agree. Motor Gear 70 Gearbox Oil. Tony went out of his way to contact a local retailer to ensure that they had it in stock and then rang me back to confirm. "Motofluid in Bayswater have what you need."

I rang Motorfluid and spoke to Sue. She has a happy and helpful attitude and a pleasure to deal with. Sue made sure there was enough in stock for me and assisted me greatly in making it possible for me to pick it up after hours. Unbelievable!!, two companies with staff pleased to go out of their way to assist me. Where do you find that these days!

I rushed around to a mate's garage and changed the Transmission Fluid for the Penrite Gear Oil ensuring that the gearbox was filled 500ml over the filler plug height through the reverse switch plug. The difference is Unbelievable!!The gear changes are silky smooth and light. It's like driving a totally different car. Gone are the hard, notchy changes and stiff gear selections. Smooth.

Penrite Motor Gear 70 has saved me around two grand. Thank you Penrite. Thank you Tony. Thank you Motofluid. Thank you Sue.

Thank you Penrite Motor Gear 70. Unbelievable!!

Excellent Results

I am writing to you to let you know the excellent results I get from using Penrite Oil in my 1983 XE Falcon car. It is still the original motor and has had no mechanical work done on the motor except installing LP gas. I bought the car in 1988 to tow a 18ft caravan . The previous owner used Penrite Oil exclusively. I have done the same. We have been around Australia four times towing a 18ft tandem caravan weighing one tone. The speedo reads 370,000km. I just had the air conditioner serviced and the garage took a reading of the speedo and couldn’t believe the motor ran so well for the amount of km’s. I cannot speak more highly of Penrite Oil and will be continuing to use it in the future.

Yet another happy customer... (published with permission)

I'm writing to express my great satisfaction in your product (HPR 10 semi synthetic oil) I own a MERCEDES-BENZ 280SE (116) (1978) It has done over 410000 km. It was using a lot of oil & fuel. I have recently perched 10 L ”As it’s Six & a half L change”. I am so very happy to tell you my joy with the way that the car has changed, I feel like it’s a new motor. I have to remind myself to take my foot off the pedal…J The oil consumption has dropped, as well as the fuel consumption… Plus, the power has increased. I thought that "Oil's is Oil's"

Keep up the good work

Yours truly,

Peter Duson

"Well the "Oil Crisis" is over .I am now running HPR Diesel 5 as you suggested. My garage - Van Beers Workshop ,who have given me great service for 10 years or so, along with Repco in Lower Hutt, were advised that the vehicle was equipped with DPF. It seems even Holden doesn't know what they put on them!!!!!! So after your reply to me; my contact with my workshop ; and their contact with Repco, the Repco man finally got the answer and then supplied my garage with; you guessed it
