Hey Andrew

As for the lubricants for your car let me send you a brochure and other 
information about Penrite Oil Products.  It will include a Penrite 
Lubrication Recommendation sheet for your car.

Just let me have your mailing address and I'll be happy to send a packet 
your way.

For a Spitfire it is recommended to use Penrite's HPR 30 (20W60) for the 
motor and Gear Oil 30 (20W60) and Hypoid 80W90 in the rear end.

Have a great week and God Bless
Jon
