1. Engine oil weight - TR3 (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 22 Nov 1996 06:17:38 EST; As a new owner of a TR3, I am curious about the groups preference for engine oil weight.

IMHO, I wouldn't use a straight weight oil. The protection afforded by using a multi-viscosity oil is superior to any straight weight. I would use either a 5w-30 or; /html/triumphs/1996-11/msg01023.html (8,608 bytes)

I changed oil soon after acquiring my TR6, used 10W-30, and wondered what had happened to my motor! The oil pressure had dropped considerably.

6. RE: Engine oil weight - TR3 (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 22 Nov 1996 09:06:05 -0800; 18 years ago I had that problem with my TR6 too. For old tired engines 20W-50 is like a "walker". On the other hand, I rebuilt the engine recently and spent a little time crafting the tolerances. I b; /html/triumphs/1996-11/msg01041.html (10,448 bytes)
7. Re[2]: Engine oil weight - TR3 (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 22 Nov 96 10:52:49 PST; Hmmm, interesting! You say the engine pulls to 7000. Did you have to do anything with crank balance to get rid of the infamous bad vibration period around 6000-6200 with the 2.5 liter engine? Also, w; /html/triumphs/1996-11/msg01044.html (10,908 bytes)
