Penrite also do a similar blend, though I'm not sure how easy it is to find in your part of the world.

Actually, they have two as it turns out. The 'original' being the HPR30 and the newer one being 'Classic Light', the latter is the same Oil only with a further additive, apparently to make it stands up better to a vehicle which is parked up for long periods.
Old Mokers never die, they just smell that way.

Hi

I think a lot of engine oils would be suitable for something where GL4 is required, but the Millers CTV and Classic Mini are good, safe options. A bike oil is also a good choice as they are designed for engines and gearboxes that share oil.

Cheers
