I thought 10/60 or 15/50 was fine for classics, but was under the impression that the later cars used 5/40

60 is far toooooooooooo thick, you will notice it, personally i wouldnt go over a 50 rated oil, 40 is pretty much spot on and I use to notice a 50 rated in my Spec C, slightly sluggish when first moving for the first 50 or so yards.
