Local shop carries Brad Penn 20w50, put that in, smoke stopped in minutes and hasn't been seen since. Maybe I got 10 bottles mislabeled with the wrong viscosity or something
Local Porsche gurus gave me **** for putting Penrite in it. For all I know its great stuff but I'm new to NZ and will forever be suspect of Penrite
Shop in Auckland has a line on some Motul HD 80w90. Going to give that a go. With a little luck I should put 100 laps on it at Hampton Downs before the end of the year!
I'll report back on any perceived difference.
