when i used the valvoline a few years back oil consumption was a problem to and i could smell it in the engine bay burning, changed back to shell helix 20w 50 no issuesbrenx said:I usually run HPR50 but have valvoline 20/50W in it at the moment. I'm switching back to HPR50 soon as I've got an oil consumption issue that it had bugger all of with the HPR50.
Mines coming out the tailpipes via the rings :shh: Well that's what I think. It's also being slightly sucked up by the pcv due to being thin and running like water. Odd thing is there is still visable hone marks in the bores. :BW:reece1 said:when i used the valvoline a few years back oil consumption was a problem to and i could smell it in the engine bay burning, changed back to shell helix 20w 50 no issuesriest:
i think it just breaks down, i know people swear buy it but i would not use it again in a modded engine, i wouldnt use it in anything really. ive heard this same thing from others as well.i just cant say enough for the shell product.and have used the penrite hpr50 alot as well with no probsbrenx said:Mines coming out the tailpipes via the rings :shh: Well that's what I think.

Can you use HPR40 in a clevo??XFFAIRMONT said:Penrite HPR30 here
It would depend on preferenve wouldn't it. Also your 351 aint stock is it. The fella who built the motor in my car uses and recommended Penzoil straight 40 i think it was.xdclevo said:Can you use HPR40 in a clevo??
My mate at autobarn say the books lists for an XD 351 to be HPR40.
Yeah just curious, as no one mentioned it. Would the HPR50 give betterXFFAIRMONT said:It would depend on preferenve wouldn't it. Also your 351 aint stock is it. The fella who built the motor in my car uses and recommended Penzoil straight 40 i think it was.
Thats right i know a lot of people or swear by Penrite. They've got my vote anyhow. The penzoil seemed alright but the penrite just seems that bit better, probably only marginal. I think the penrite HPR series is the highest quality oil you can get unless you go to the synthetic stuff. I was shown how you can tell, theres something on the bottle. Can't remember now.UCNTRY said:i work at autobarn and tryed some of the penrite usa imported gt racing series oil in my clevo 25/50w and it was sought of noisy and didnt run as smooth and i have just put hpr50 in to try get over an oil pressure problem and found that the motor ran alot smoother on the penrite and one of the older guys that i work with said he wouldnt sell anyone anything else b8ut penrite he has always had nothin but good fortunes with it
