[Healeys] oil weight

[John Rowe]

If you look at the description on the container (at least here in Oz) 
the 5W-50 is for big bore flat tappet cam engines. That is a very apt 
description of my 3000. The Castrol Edge Sport is the modern old Castrol 
R, It's all to do with marketing.

Cheers from West OZ
