LPG TB42 Oil Change

Post by zukmeista »

Planning on doing an oil change on the new truck soon, but not sure what oil to use. Going to use Penrite, they recommend HPR30,but I see they also do an HPR Gas oil, which should I use? It has 440,000 k's on the clock, but no smoke or rattles.

No smoke or rattles because it doesn't go ...................

Moral to the story.....never trust a LPG gauge. I was going to suggest that in other thread, but it seemed too simple :lol:
Had all the symptoms of running out. Had a XF Falcon dedicated to LPG once, would hear the valve in the tank chatter when nearly empty. We live and learn, ay Harry.
Use gas rated oil in engine.

Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

Ok, cheers Simon. Yeah it died really slowly, as soon as I put the foot down it would just die.

Use gas rated oil if you want it to live for a long time
