Mike
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your inquiry. ...
Read more Our information, as provided to us, states that Korandos fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), require an oil meeting Mercedes-Benz MB 229.51 specification. Enviro+ 5W-40 not only meets MB 229.51, it is approved by Mercedes-Benz for use against this specification. There is an approval on our website, https://www.penriteoil.com.au/, but for your convenience, you can also click this link https://www.penriteoil.com.au/manufacturer-approvals. I hope this helps with your query.
Is this true synthetic oil or a group 3 hydrocracked from crude oil?
that is something the public might never know as not many people have the equipment to check for that sort of thing
Hi Nick,
HPR 5 is blended from Full Synthetic Base oils. Its formulation is proprietary company information belonging to the Penrite Oil Company. ...
Read morePenrite Full Synthetic oils can be blended from Group III, Group IV and Group V base oils depending on the specific products and their applications. Not all of our HPR range is synthetic but the grades that are synthetic, are manufactured using 100% synthetic base oil. See this link, https://www.penriteoil.com.au/info/category/1/Engine-Oils/999/What-are-BASE-OILS, for information which is in our Knowledge Centre, https://www.penriteoil.com.au/info/index. It may be worth noting here that “Hydrocracking” is a process of refining oils and is carried out on solvent refined Group I and Hydrocracked Group II base stocks. Group II base oils that are Severely Hydro-processed produce Group III base oils that are determined as Full Synthetic and are the main base stock used for most synthetic grade lubricants. It is also worth noting, that Base oil is only part of the blend of an engine oil along with the additive pack. We trust this helps
I am going to put HPR 50 in my 4 litre falcon motor. (10-30 is recommended) will it gum up my lifters and provide start up wear due to it's high viscosity? I have used 50 in a 125 motor cycle and it worked ok. I do not want gummed up lifters in my 4l falcon. 24 valve
Hi Wasa, This is way too heavy for a Falcon engine. You would be better off using HPR10 if it is burning oil. (Link to HPR 10: https://www.penriteoil.com.au/applications/car-4wd/engine-oils/hpr-10-10w...

what 5w40 full synthetic oil can i use on my 2014 jeep grand cherokee eco diesel with dpf?
Hi Roy,
We would recommend Enviro+ 5W-40 – (https://www.penriteoil.com.au/applications/brands/enviro+/enviro-5w-40-full-syn). Service Refill is 7.7 Litres
My gu patrol has done 840000 km
What is the best oil for the old girl?
Been serviced sort of regular.
Hi Karl, is it Petrol or Diesel?
Can't help without knowing if any work has been done and whether or not it is diesel, petrol or turbo diesel.
I agree if you don't know if its diesel or petrol so hard to comment and then it depends on where you live cause of the grade as you don't won't a thin oil up in the top end
What oil should I use in a 2014 holden colarado 2.8 diesel, has done 180000km. I have not lone brought this vehicle.
Being a Turbo Diesel, it is imperative oil is changed regularly along with the oil filter & any other filter that diesels use. The Penrite Enviro 5W-40 is what is recommended but you can use the HPR 5...
Read moreW-40 if you choose. HPR stands for High Performance Range. Look for the 10 litre container as you need 6.7 litres but often, a sale is on and 2 x 5 litre containers works out cheaper. Remember to change oil & filters together & I always change oil well before recommended date.
Can someone please tell me where Penrite HPR oil is made? There is an Australian flag on the packaging stating that it is Australian owned, but after going over the packaging with a magnifying glass I couldn’t find any information on which country it is actually manufactured in?
Penrite is 100% Australian owned & managed. The oils are 'made & blended' here in QLD & VIC but the best base stocks are sourced from various places. No oil company will reveal where their base stocks...
Read more come from, but Australian companies have been making a concerted effort to source their stock from the USA, Russia & Sth East Asia. We rely on Middle East for close to 40% but there has been huge increase in production in Indonesia & surrounding areas. With the proximity to Aust, this is the most likely future market. Remember all oil companies do this & Penrite HPR is as Australian as you can find, but most importantly, was developed for Australian conditions. I hope this helps explain your question.
Which Penrite diesel oil, its ok to put in on my toyota Coaster 1989 motorhome when I going to the outback and how many km last.
Regard Hebert Pena a mail. [email removed]
I need more information such as the motor type. BB21 or HZB50 etc. It could be one of three or four different diesel engines. I suggest you look at the ID tags in the engine bay or perhaps it will be ...
Read morein the glovebox books, or printed on the aircleaner. HPR 20w60 or HPR15w60 are recommended for these two motors. There won't be much difference between any of the engines, but best check to be sure. I would strongly suggest you recondition your cooling system before any long distance trip, get a battery test, check brakes & tyres. Get back to me when your know more about the motor type.
2017 everest 4x4 ua 3.2l. getting a mid service schedule oil change as i wish to keep the car for 20 years. 5w 30 penrite (non enviro) has been recommended to me and researching this i think thats the shot. going to do it every 7500ks. any Another everest ranger 3.2l auto users out there?
Hi Matt, The Full Synthetic 5W-30 is fine for this vehicle. It can also use Enviro+ C2 0W-30 if needed. Both products meet the Ford specifications asked for this vehicle.
I have a 3L patrol (Wagon) I live in central QLD. I do a lot towing a boat or camper trailer . I currently use a 15w 40 oil. I want to change to Penrite oils. Can you recommend what oils I should be using ?
Cheers

Hi Graham
There is a handy product selector on the Penrite web site (under "Tools" at the top of the home page). If you put in the year, model, engine typw it will provide the products for your car.
Hi Graham, As Stevo has said you can use our Product Selector to find the right oil for your Patrol, but if you would like to talk to our Technical Team about an recommendation you can call them on 1300 736 748 or email [email protected]
ive been using 10w50 penrite oil for my 2006 turbo territory ghia, it now has 186,000kms is this still ok to use?
Hi Jenny, Yes this is fine to use in this vehicle. It is our preferred oil for this vehicle. If you have any other questions you are welcome to call our Tech Team on 1300 736 748 or email [email protected]
I would think that 10w 50 is the right oil and was going to suggest you confirm that with Penrite but I see they have answered your question already.
Hi, I have just put penrite 10w-50 oil into my honda crv 2001 sport 2.0 litres engine, which ran 149000. Is it good oil for my car? One guy from autobam recommended this. Please help me out.
Yes it should be a good oil for your car. I have decided to buy cheaper oils and change the oil more often than pay for Penrites advertising/marketing.
Using Penrite is certainly a good option but you should go on the Penrite website and look up the particular grade of oil recommended for your Honda. You can also do this on the Penrite product select...

Whats the best 5 penrite oil would you recommend for a petrol 2010 nissan with 80k plus kms?
Your best idea would be to look at the Penrite oil site "oil guide"
www.penriteoil.com.au/rec_guide.php
Hi Mowerman, We would recommend HPR 5, 10 Tenths Premium 0 or Enviro+ GF-5. If you have any further questions you can call us on 1300 736 748 or email [email protected]

I have an 03 Nissan patrol 4.2 . T with 275000 kls. I have used 15w-40 but now live in a cold climate.can you tell me best grade to use as its hard to start of a morning?
Where exactly are you know living? Are starts actually difficult?
We have 2 products and possibly a third, bearing in mind the kms done. ...
Read more Firstly, you are currently using a 15W-40. Now, checking what Nissan were asking for back then, according to information supplied to us, they were looking at either a 10W-50 or 15W-40 or 20W-50. Seeing as you are apparently having hard start issues with a 15W-40, there is no point returning to that nor a 20W-something. A 10W- is deemed suitable so that brings into calculations HPR Diesel 10, http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products.php?id_categ=1&id_brand=1&id_products=580. This is a semi-synthetic 10W-40 so you will still have a similar thickness when hot but a little better flow when cold. It will be a slightly lighter oil overall but we are dealing with a requirement of a better cold start. I also thought of HPR Diesel 5, http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products.php?id_categ=1&id_brand=1&id_products=7, which will certainly provide better starts but again, a lighter oil overall so you’d have to try it and see how the engine likes it. Some would say it would be too light for this car but I am not sure what kind of cold starts we are looking at. The other oil I would strongly consider is HPR Gas 10, http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products.php?id_categ=1&id_brand=1&id_products=10. Don’t worry about the name; it is formulated for many LPG cars and is based on a very good diesel engine oil formulation. It is a 10W-50 so thicker when hot but slightly lighter when cold. Might be an option as the car is not getting any younger. You are welcome to contact the Penrite Tech Team on 1300 736 748 or email [email protected]
If you been using 15/40 motor oil normally on a motor would it have any effect changing to 5w40 synthetic Penrite Oil?
No it wouldn't. It depends on your engine and kms.
What car, year, engine and kms do you have?
No not really though 15/40 is a good grade of oil 5/40 is today's norm it won't hurt just checking it at first change over to make sure your engine is not burning the new product
