I've taken to using synthetic diesel rated oil in my cars due to the high 
usage of antiwear additives (my son tells me that this is standard practice 
in the high power biking community), although not is the TR6 since the 
engine is still not installed!.  Lots of ZDDP! (in the same range as racing 
oils).
