Les Mecoles founded Penrite Oil when he was only 16 years old. The beginnings of the business empire he would go on to build were truly humble. His first batches of oil were made on his parents' kitchen stove in Melbourne's St. Kilda. Those early bursts of inspiration and ambition would help Penrite guide drivers from Australia and all over the world to a better kind of engine oil.
Today – after having provided drivers all over the globe with an ever-expanding range of engine oils and complementary products for more than 90 years – Penrite has made a name for itself as a global leading manufacturer of vehicle engine oil and lubricants and export their Australian made products to over 50 countries. Of course, they remain 100% Australian owned, still operating out of Melbourne just like they did when Les founded the business in his family kitchen.
