Hey you may have noticed on much of the Penrite lubricants range, this little
label down here that says "EXTRA TEN", I long wondered what it meant and so let's
finally put this to bed. Really important... So first thing you need to know is that
Penrite is Australian owned and blended right here in Australia so what that
means... very different to other lubricant companies... is that it can actually make
lubricants relative to the Australian climate and environment, Now when we talk
about the numbers on the front of an oil, The number on the left... Remembering W
stands for winter... Is effectively relative to the cold starting
temperature of the environment that you're in and similarly on the right
hand side is the temperature the thickness of the oil or viscosity under
its operating temperature, so very important to get those right. What the
EXTRA TEN means is this... If we have two different oils say a 10W-40 verses a
10W-50 and your car specification may call for that 10W-40, so a slightly thinner
oil than the 50 but what Penrite are saying they're happy for you with the
EXTRA TEN technology to use the 10W-50 which is backwards compatible to the
application where that 10W-40 was called for... But here's the kicker you get
the benefit of the increased thickness of the oil and the technology that comes
with using a 50 weight oil and when we run oil temperature up to... look
98.8 degrees here... You can see the heat versus the cooling benefit
of that and the longevity for your engine. So you don't have to be a rocket scientist
to work out this frictional heat is not good for your engine and not only that
it's not good for your lubricant and in fact, breaks it down over time.
So I can't think of a reason why in Australian climatic conditions you wouldn't go for
Penrite's EXTRA TEN because that is exactly the reason it was blended and created
here in Australia for exactly those conditions.
