Shelsley Light is a premium mineral, 20W-60, high zinc, very low detergent engine oil designed specifically for petrol, kerosene, and diesel-fueled vintage, pre-war, and post-war vehicles manufactured up to 1950. It features a double layer of engine wear protection with high zinc and increased operating temperature viscosity over monograde oils.

Application:

• Shelsley Light is suitable for passenger cars, motorcycles, 4WDs, light & heavy-duty commercial vehicles (trucks, buses & heavy equipment), tractors & industrial machines that originally specified an SAE 30 monograde grade engine oil fitted with/without an engine oil filter. Vehicles requiring higher detergency should use Penrite Classic Light Engine Oil.
• Shelsley Light is an SAE 20W-60 engine oil for vehicles that specified SAE 30 grade engine oils. It is suitable for small capacity vintage engines relying totally on splash lubrication. Also suitable for small capacity sleeve valve engined cars such as Minerva, Mors, Knight, and Daimler. Can be used for vehicles operating where cooler ambient temperatures will be experienced.
• Shelsley Light is ideal for use in early vintage (pre-1950) motorcycles, incorporating sight glasses, pilgrim oil pumps, and total loss lubrication systems. It is suitable for use in motorcycles fitted with a wet clutch.
• Shelsley Light  contains a special additive pack that suits vintage vehicles of the era and is compatible with grades that were originally specified. This oil exceeds the specification requirements of the original oils required during this period hence offering a greater level of engine protection compared to original oils.
• Shelsley Light features a standard multigrade cold temperature SAE viscosity grade with an increased operating temperature range that provides and added layer of protection for the engine especially under increased load and temperature conditions. Multigrade oils provide better start-up protection and better protection at operating temperature than monograde oils and they do not need to be changed in winter and summer as they used to do.
• Shelsley Light  is an API SC/CC grade oil that features very low detergent levels and contains High Zinc levels for added anti-wear protection for older engines.
• Shelsley Light contains a "Tacky Additive" so that when vehicles are laid up, the engine oil doesn't run off the internal surfaces. This combined with an increased level of rust inhibitor provides protection against corrosion and deterioration when the engine is not used or in storage.

Note: When changing oil, Penrite recommends using Penrite Engine Flush, a fast-acting, solvent-free, engine cleaning formulation that removes engine deposits, sludge, and contaminants with the oil service drain. It contains added zinc for engine wear protection and its fast-acting formulation works in 10 minutes.

Benefits:

• Formulated to give improved low-temperature pumpability.
• Improves operating temperature wear protection.
• Extends bearing and gear life by minimizing wear and shock loads.
• Minimizes sludge build-up, bearing corrosion, and piston ring sticking.
• Formulated specifically for Pre-1950's vehicles.
• Optimized zinc levels for wear protection.
