Can you get Penrite there? They have a classic 15W-50 with 1380ppm ZDDP.

Is Penrite the same as Penngrade?? Penngrade has a high ZDDP 20W50 that I'm using in my 951. I also use it in air cooled engines.

Rislone ZDDP is relatively inexpensive at $8-10 around my area. To get 1600ppm, you'd need 18oz (7% total capacity). Each bottle is 11oz, so $20 of addative to your oil of choice would get it done.

No, unrelated. Penrite is from down under.

(And yeah, it's pretty dear here in Ireland too. I use Millers Classic 20W-50, but I don't see the same sort of cold as Estonia would.)

D'oh. ES is Spain, not Estonia. I'd just run 20W-50; it's much easier to find in a classic formulation.
