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.

Moral to the story.....never trust a LPG gauge. I was going to suggest that in other thread, but it seemed too simple
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,

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
