Overview

Penrite Small Engine 4 Stroke 10W-30 is a one litre semi synthetic engine oil formulated to protect and maintain small four stroke engines. The listing describes it as a non friction modified oil built with modern technology additives that provide excellent protection against wear and corrosion while maintaining engine cleanliness, which is the combination a small engine needs when it runs hot under a load. The one litre bottle is the right size for a small engine oil change, which typically takes less than a litre, and it stores easily in the tool box.

The oil is suitable for most small four stroke engines including lawn mowers, generators, inboard and outboard engines where a 10W-30, API SL/CF or earlier engine oil is recommended. It is also compatible with four stroke motorcycles, including those fitted with wet clutch assemblies, because the non friction modified formula does not upset the clutch.

What You Need to Complete the Job

Change the oil in the same service as an air filter for the GX340 GX390 and an air filter cover assembly. A new on off switch covers the electrical side, and the Pressure Washers Accessories range holds the rest of the service parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does non friction modified mean?

It means the oil does not carry the friction modifiers used in fuel economy car oils. Small engines share their oil with the clutch on some machines, and a non friction modified formula keeps the wet clutch from slipping, which is why it is the safe choice for that duty.

Which engines is it suitable for?

The listing covers most small four stroke engines including lawn mowers, generators, inboard and outboard engines where a 10W-30, API SL/CF or earlier oil is recommended, plus four stroke motorcycles including those with wet clutch assemblies. The JASO MA rating is the specification that makes the oil safe for wet clutch engines, which is the detail to check before using a car oil in a motorcycle.

What are the specifications?

The listing gives API SL/CF, ACEA A3/B3 and JASO MA. The 10W-30 viscosity suits the small air cooled and water cooled engines that run across the equipment range, and the one litre size covers a typical small engine oil change.
