Penrite Oil

[Jmac]

Hi Jmac,

You asked if someone tried Sonax brand.

Today I received some Sonax car care products and I just tried their wheel cleaner (ordered 5L of it, since Penrite rep showed me how it works). I cleaned wheels on our Touareg in less than 10min. The product is ph neutral, smells nice and just sprays on leave 5 min and hose off. The best wheel cleaner I've ever used!
Also tried/bought Glass Polish, Clearview windscreen washer additive (in 5L very economical), Glass cleaner (in 10L well priced). All good.

Thats great feedback,might speak to my rep and order some, be good to have some for the dyno day im holding in QLD next month
Cheers
Jmac

I have some Castrol edge sport 5W30 I think and a full bucket of HPR10W50 (called Plus10). Reckon I'll thow them both in together and let them fight it out. (1.8T 1999 Passat.) Did I miss your dyn day?

So what should I use in my 010 1.8t Passat,as it is oil hungry. the penrite site says I can use hpr5, 5/40. Will this help reduse the oil usage as it stands a 1ltr per 100ks.

1L per 100 kilometres is a mechanical issue. You could put 10w60 and it still wouldn't make a difference.

Have you checked the PCV and had a wet/dry compression test done?

502/505-spec 5W40 will help, but won't completely solve it.

My Octavia used to swallow at least 1.5 litre of oil per month
Since adding 250ml of Liqui Molly Visco Sabil Plus it has not used any oil, done 5,000km so far
It leaves the cold viscosity the same but significantly increases the hot viscosity

Sorry I meant 1000 ks not 100ks.
