Hi folks! I wonder what the best engine oil for my Rover 3,5 litre V8-engine from 1978 will be? The Buick/Olds 215 dates back from 1961 when synthetic engine oil (like for example "Mobil 1" 5W-50) di

Hi folks! Hi Eirik, I looked into the problem of appropriate motor oils a few years back. I occasionally race my 1984 Vitesse (clothed in a Morgan Plus 8) and was about to switch to synthetics. Howe

I don't really see any difference. Pressure and volume are related. The oil pump sweeps out a volume of oil. The restriction (to flow) that the pump sees determines the pressure. Thicker oil, tighte

I use Penrite HPR50 which is 40W-70. My motor is a 1973 3500 10.5:1 CR with about 140000 miles on it. Perhaps because of wear and the ambient temperature the thicker oil has never presented problems.

Rich, "This guy" that I cited, Smokey Yunick, is one of if not the most respected race car designer/builder ever with one hell of a portfolio when it comes to building engines that perform and live.

Rover motors have been very reliable with low oil pressure at idle, but MG saw fit to uprate the oil pressure relief valve spring to give about 15-20 PSI at idle when they built the MGB-GT V-8. The r

Smokey's rule of thumb was derived from his experience with small block Chevys. Other engines may need more or less. Pressure requirements vary with load which varies with the square of rpm (and wit
