Hi guys,

Looking for some feedback on what will be the best oil to use in my LPG VT.

180000km

Someone suggested Mobil 1?

I'm currently using Magnatec.

Cheers.

A good quality LPG oil is your friend. Don't go too thin with the weight though, I think 10 is about the limit for a VT, could even be 15, check the owners manual.

Thanks all...

So Penrite HPR GAS 10 looks the way to go.

Does anyone know what the main differences are between standard petrol oil & gas oil?

Or does anyone else have any suggestions?

Cheers.

think the gas oil has some extra protection properties over standard oil just to help against the high temps generated from the lpg...:thumbsup:

hope that helps

WHUT? gas runs cooler than petrol, that what the condenser is for. Warming up the gas and making it all cooler
