Which penrite would you use??.

Post by Baddie »

Went to supercheap today to pick up my normal Penrite Brew and Penrite have a new range of oils.

I'm not 100% what end of the scale to go, both are Full Syn but not sure which Viscosity (W) would be best.

Both are suitable for my bike (track only).

RACING 10 (10W-40) Full Syn.

RACING 15 (15W-50) Full Syn.

http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/m ... )_full_syn.

Cheers.

I use the everyday synthetic car one. But haven't bought any for a bit. Does it still exist?

We spoke to the Penrite rep.
And their website reccomended it for bikes before they came out with their motorcycle specific range.

No chance of me using regular motor oil in a bike with a wet clutch!
Additives in car oil reduce friction properties, exactly what the wet clutch bikes dont need!

If it dont say JASO-MA then it has been produced with the additives, it it does say JASO-MA then you're good to go for use in your bike!

The new bike oil range looks interesting. I used to use Penrite Gas 10 in the ZXR as I was told this one didn't have friction modifiers in it.

If you're using this one, then you're ok. Its manufactured to JASO-MA which means it doesnt have the anti friction additive!

Some cheaper oils dont get manufactured with the additive...... so....shit cheap oil is better than expensive oil for your bike!
