[Healeys] Castrol Syntec Oil

[Chris Dimmock]

I've tried most. Still can't go past Penrite HPR 40 or HPR50
1450 ppm of zinc. Designed for our engines.
HPR gives the best oil pressure I've even seen from a hot Healey engine (ie
when you drive off the track)

iPhone!!!!)

inferior. Oil pressure can drop considerably when the engine is really hot
after a prolonged motorway run  of around 100mph. With the old Duckhams i had
far less pressure reduction.

what about leakages. Opinions?
