Oil check

[Doish13]

Understand this is a topic which could go for days though do have a genuine quick question.

78 SC is up for an oil change. Traditionally have run Brad Penn however due to costs for this going up significantly I’m looking at the Penrite HBR 30 20-60.

question is does anyone have a reason not to buy this?

asking as 30% off this at Super Cheap this weekend so less than half the price of Bead Penn.

thanks

There are a couple of oil threads already.  Might be best to read them before opening this can of worms,

but I have been using this in my 930 without any known issues.

The top rating of 60 is better for air cooled motors in our climate.  Now also recommended by Porsche.
