I agree with Dave regarding Fram oil filters. I have been running the Purola=
tor L20195 filters in my TR4A for a few years now and also change the filter=
and oil each year.=20
Regarding oil, I have been using Brad Penn 20-59 wt. but that is strictly my=
personal preference. Generally speaking, people who own these types of cars=
change their oil and filters often enough that as long as you use an oil co=
ntaining additional zinc you will be fine.
