haha here comes another which oil thread!

all the above are resonable suggestions tho :thumb:

i've always used the mclaren stuff 15-50 think... Can't remember the brand, shame on me.

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

After lots of thread reading and there is plenty of reading if you search for "which oil"?
Motul 300v 15w 50 is what i now use:thumb:

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.

I use Motul 300V in My Spec C Mr P
