Title: Brad Penn
Post by: Chris E. on April 08, 2009, 09:01:35 PM

Thinking of buying some Brad Penn. What grade is better for our climate and my engine? 20w50 or 10w30? Engine is a 2276 8.5:1cr 155HP. ???

That's good in Arizona during a heat wave.  Or for worn out engines.
Otherwise, it just makes your engine run hot, and doesn't properly lubricate the bearings.

I use 10W-30 in New York.

Oil needs to flow to work.

I get my BP oil from Pacific Western Performance in Langley.  Fancy name for a home based buisiness.  Jeff brings the stuff in for himself and his Porsche club buddies.  10w30 10w40 20w50 and straight 30 wt breakin oil.  My last case came in at $96 after taxes.  Contact #604-313-3494 or try sales@pacificwesternperformance.com
