Tom, I have been using synth oil in my =E2=80=9962 mga for over 10 years.  =
In fact,  I use synthetic in all of my engines, even my lawn tractor.
Costs more $$$, but much better lubrication.

I use synthetic oil in my '57 MGA. However, more important than
synth/non-synth is to ensure that the oil includes the necessary zinc
and other compounds necessary to protect flat tappets.

Mobil1 15w50 also has the recommended zinc level for older engines. Just =

I started using it in my MGB about 5 years ago.

The real question is will your MG keep synthetic inside. My experience is
that synthetic leaks more than dino juice, somewhat due to lower viscosity.
Don't worry about the ZDDP if your engine is anywhere near stock, the
current spec is very close to what early '60s and older oils had in them.
For engines designed in the late '60 (designed - not built) there could be
an issue with the current spec, but even that is questionable. For a '57
MGA, the engine is, shall we say, somewhat agricultural.

Agricultural(?),  you are kind Steve.
Actually, my MGA consumes a quart of Red Line in about 1200 miles, and a qu=
art of anything else (well, have only used a couple other brands/formulatio=
ns) in 400 =E2=80=93 600 miles.   Almost makes it worth the price.
