Penrite Shelsley Heavy – 5 Litre

SKU: SHELH005

Penrite Shelsley Heavy is a premium mineral, 40-70, high zinc, very low detergent engine oil designed specifically for petrol, kerosene and diesel fuelled vintage, pre-war and post war vehicles manufactured to 1950. It features a double layer of engine wear protection with high zinc and increased operating temperature viscosity over monograde oils.

Shelsley Heavy is suitable for vehicles that originally specified an SAE 50 monograde grade engine oil fitted with/ without an engine oil filter. Those vehicles that require higher detergency should use Penrite Classic Heavy Engine Oil.

Shelsley Heavy is ideal for use in early vintage (pre 1950) motorcycles, incorporating sight glasses, pilgrim oil pumps and total loss lubrication systems. It is suitable for use in motorcycles fitted with a wet clutch.

Shelsley Heavy is an API SC/CC grade oil that features very low detergent levels and contains HIGH ZINC levels for added anti-wear protection for older engines. It also contains a “Tacky Additive” so that when vehicles are laid up, the engine oil doesn’t run off the internal surfaces. This combined with an increased level of rust inhibitor, provides protection against corrosion and deterioration when the engine is not used or in storage.

  • Formulated to give improved low temperature pumpability
  • Improves operating temperature wear protection

  • Minimises sludge build up, bearing corrosion and piston ring sticking

NOTE: when changing oil, Penrite recommend using an Engine Flush, a fast acting, solvent free, engine cleaning formulation that removes engine deposits, sludge and contaminants with the oil service drain. It contains added zinc for engine wear protection and its fast acting formulation works in 10 minutes.
