Penrite offers a complete range of oils and lubricants for classic, veteran and vintage cars and motor cycles, specifically formulated to meet original specifications but utilising the very best of modern technology.

Modern lubricants do not necessarily suit older vehicles. They are often too thin and the additive ‘packages’ employed have been chosen to suit today’s advanced engineering and materials, not those employed in the design and manufacture of the vehicles of earlier years.

Classic HPR Range

Specifically made for petrol and diesel engines manufactured between 1950 and 1975.

 

HPR 30

5 litres £21.78

An  SAE 20W-60 oil which replaces SAE 30 and 20-50W.

A mineral oil formulated for most post war classics, particularly high-performance vehicles such as MG, Porsche, Jaguar  and Triumph. Suitable for cars running six volt electric systems, where starter motor cranking speeds require an engine to turn over with minimal drag.

HPR 40.

5 litres £21.78

A 25W-70 oil replacing SAE40.

Formulated for many 1950’s to 1979 car engines and many post-war motor cycles. Contains a complete additive pack, and due to the quality of it’s components will provide improvements in hot oil consumption compared to lighter grades.

 

The Shelsley Range

A Range of low detergent engine oils intended for vehicles manufactured between 1920 and 1950. Designed for older engines that have not been overhauled or have run on a non-detergent type oil. The use of non-dispersant type Shelsley oil reduces the possibility of deposit removal – potentially reducing compression, giving oil consumption problems and flushing contaminates into the lubrication system

 

Shelsley 30 (Light)

5 litres £21.39

For use where a light grade oil or an SAE 20 or 30 were originally recommended.

Shelsley 40 (Medium)

5 litres £21.39

For use where a medium grade oil or an SAE 40 oils were originally recommended.

 

Gearbox Oil Range 

For use where oils of 30 and 40 SAE rating were originally recommended. Suitable for older boxes of either straight cut, synchromesh, epicyclic design, or for overdrives (such as Laycock). Both oils in the range contain no EP  additives which can cause serious damage to gearboxes containing yellow metals, or friction modifiers which can cause slipping in overdrives and pre-selector gearboxes.

Gearbox Oil 30

5litres £21.28

Replaces SAE 30 and 20W-50

 Transoil

 These ‘straight’ or non additive treated oils are suitable for use in either straight bevelled, spiral bevelled  or worn gears. The choice of viscosity is very much affected by individual design requirements. For most gearboxes, the lighter the oil, the easier the change.

 

Transoil 90

1litre £5.68

Suitable for gearboxes and rear axles of small and medium sized vehicles from the 1920’s and 30’s. Recommended also for Luvax shock absorbers.

Transoil 140

1litre £5.78

The equivalent of what was called 120, 140, and 160 grade. For gearboxes and axles of medium to large size 20’s and 30’s cars.

 

Hypoid Oils

The crown wheel and pinion teeth in a hypoid axle slide as well as rotate against each other, which requires the use of extreme pressure additives. Penrite hypoid oils are formulated to meet the specific requirements of older vehicles.

 

Mild EP

1litre £6.38

An SAE 140 grade gear oil suitable for use in bevel, worn and pre-1960 hypoid gears. Rated GL4 this gear oil does not possess the additive package found in later GL5 gear oils which should not be used in veteran or vintage vehicles as the additive packages in these oils attack metals such as bronze, brass and copper.

 

Steering Box Lube

A self-levelling, high viscosity lubricant containing non-corrosive extreme pressure additives. Ideal for veteran and vintage steering boxes. Not recommended for rack and pinion steering.

 

Steering Box Lube

500mls £6.46

 

Water Pump Grease

Calcium No4 Grease, specially made for water pumps which require regular greasing.

Water Pump Grease

50gramms £3.24
