Seems to me all of this talk is one good reason to use Penrite oil. The person on the list who used to sell it should consider selling it again... I'll buy for sure. -- Alan '52 A90 '53 BN1 '64 BJ8

Oils may be formulated differently for different markets and countries. Currently in Australia Castrol oils have 1000ppm of a product based on zinc for improving mechanical wear properties. It is imp

Just one more comment. Penrite formulated oils specifically for our cars and thats what I have on the shelf. Sadly in the US of A it was either too hard to get or too expensive. There was even an on-

DMD has one nice potential solution to this cam lobe and follower pitting wear issue. A roller cam kit. Really expensive! I suppose a pint of EOS per oil change would be a lot cheaper :) Dave _______

I have been very reluctant to chime in on the oils subject because it seems to me that we, being those on the outside of the oil industry, are so far behind the 8 ball that we have little chance of r

Thanks Mike. But even now there are some inconsistancies. I saw a recent chart of various oils and the amt of ZDDP in them. VR1, which I have been using, was listed at a little over 1200 ppm's. Close

Thanks Michael - I will look out for it. It sounds like the VR1 spec is pretty well defined and should be a safe bet for Healey motors in this transition phase away from Zn additives. Best, Robert. -

Hi Bob, I asked precisely that of the tech rep to whom I spoke and he replied that the 1400 ppm figure applied to ALL VALVOLINE VR1 OILS. I would suggest that you call Valvoline (1-800-TEAM-VAL) to c
