Castrol Edge 10W60? Are you familiar with the Castrol Edge Sport 10W60? Apparently its different. Any ideas? Its says its forumated for race engines. I am not sure it that is too thin for our engines. I have been using it for the last 5000miles and it seems to be burning more oil then usual.

My mechanic suggested me to use Mobil 1 5w-50. Engine has 170000 km, but it was fully rebuild on 168000 km!

Is that a lite oil for Humpty Dumpty? If so, how many grams did it shave off?

OK, so where does one find Brad Penn? Amsoil lists their distributors on their website, Penn does not.

They are not so high tech - you can just call them up and talk to them, they are quite friendly. They can try to find you a distributor near your location, otherwise mail order is the easiest way to get it for sure.

Google, entered Bradpenn +[your city, or nearest Bigger city(s)].
One of the hits was paydirt.
(worked for me. Small, hole-in-the-wall distributor.)

poor phone book... vs the internet, it's going the way of the buggy whip.

Default Source for Brad Penn oil

I emailed them and found that there was no distributor close enough for me to want to drive there.

Instead I bought on-line from LN Engineering

Just changed mine for Fuchs Titan Supersyn 5W-40 and all the signs are good with it so far.

Mine had Mobil1 0W-40 put in at the last service but looking at the state of the oil that came out after only doing 4,000 miles it made me wonder if the change had been done properly. I now firmly believe a DIY hot oil change gives you peace of mind that the job has been done properly.
