[Healeys] Dave Dougan's overdrive part 2

[Oudesluys]

Redline MT90 can be used but is not easily available, at least not in 
the NL. There are other similar oils (GL-4), some synthetic others 
mineral: Quaker state HP or Synquest, Millers EP, Shell Spirax GX, 
Texaco Multigear MTF and others. Practically all are hard to find and do 
not add much if anything at all in normal applications to simple 20W50.
These oils do not contain S or Cl containing compounds to do damage to 
brass baulk rings or other Cu containing metal parts.
