Penrite HPR 5 Diesel synthetic (5w-40).

Yeah Im using the synforce. Only had it in for about 1,000kms so can't really give much feedback, but Im pretty confident in it from what I've read and the specs.

Send them an email, they'll give you a quote to ship directly to your door. Really easy.

Sorry to drag up an old topic but does anyone know how I can get Synforce oils in SA. I have asked around a few places but got no positive results. I looked on the website and there is no way to order over the net

Cheers

Bill

I tried contacting them directly months ago but didn't even recieve a reply. :roll: Might try again and see if they've improved

Hey guys,I`ve had a couple of good recommendations for the Nulon High protection Diesel Formula over the last couple of weeks but am a bit dubious about it. I saw it mentioned earlier on page 2 of this thread but have never used it myself. Can anyone recommend it or otherwise?, If it`s ok I might give it a try for the next 5000K.

Sure mate, why not give it a go. I did and didn't really like it....my donk has had Fuchs, Valvoline Super D, Nulon and Plenty of Penrite (HPR15 & Diesel GS), they are all 15W-40 & 15W-50 (HPR15). Penrite has been the pick mate. I was going to give Caltex Delo 400 a go next change but I am going to stick with the Penrite cause I have been happy with it.

I have used it and still do the only other one I tried was the castrol magnetec, I prefer the Nulon.

The Nulon went in yesterday so I`ll see how it goes. The Hobart dealer oil it replaced was as black as it gets after 5K but still felt ok. I dont know what brand they used but it was fairly good and clean up to about 3500-4000K after blocking the swirl but dirtied up quickly after that.

That's much better than it was before. The last 4 are the same spec as the much more expensive HPR 5 so I might go back to HPR 15 if getting Synforce in Tas is too expensive.
Good spot! :D
