Penrite Oils

From small beginnings in 1926, Les Mecoles, 16 years old, founded Penrite Oil Company St. Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. The first batches of oil were made on his mother’s kitchen stove and delivered to service stations, milling factories and the local shipping port using his father’s wheelbarrow. Penrite continues to be 100% Australian owned and managed from Dandenong South, Melbourne by the Dymond family. 


Recent product innovations have included the introduction of lower viscosity engine oils, the Penrite Little Mate Pump for 1L, 2.5L and 4L gear oil and ATF bottles, the motorcycle oils, care and cleaning range, engine and fuel additives, greases, an expansion of our Lightning range to introduce gentler hand care products and new cleaning solutions, plus much more.
