VEHICLE & FUEL TYPES Semi Synthetic 15W-40 is suitable for use in passenger cars, 4WDs & light commercial vehicles and is compatible with Petrol/LPG (Dual Fuel), E10, Diesel (without DPF) and most other conventional fuels. If using with E85 fuel, Penrite recommend more frequent oil change periods. It is not recommended for use in four stroke motorcycles with a wet clutch. The appropriate Penrite MC-4ST motorcycle oil should be used for these applications. NOTE: when changing oil, Penrite recommend using Penrite Engine Flush, a fast acting, solvent free, engine cleaning formulation that removes engine deposits, sludge and contaminants with the oil service drain. It contains added zinc for engine wear protection and its fast acting formulation works in 10 minutes.
