[Healeys] Oil For Healey's

[Mirek Sharp]

Steve,

If you want to stick to a mineral oil with lots of ZZDP (according to the 
label and website - I can't detect the taste myself), I recommend Castrol 
VR-1.  This is labeled as a racing oil but if you read the bottle and the 
info on the Valvoline site, it clearly indicates that is it also formulated 
for street use and has added ZZDP for older designs of engine.  It can also 
be difficult to find - try the local yellow pages for a supplier of 
lubricants and oils - I buy mine from the company that distributes to retail 
outlets.  Probably any Valvoline supplier can order it for you.

There was a long exchange on the List about oils sometime last year and 
everyone has their own favourite brand and opinion on the subject - in the 
end you will have to read the opinions and company web sites and decide 
yourself.  Also look at Brad Penn oils - I have never used them but they 
were a candidate that made my short list.

cheers,
