[Healeys] oil weight

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

G’day

 

I must be missing something here as I cannot understand why anyone would want to use the grades of oil being mentioned.

 

Let’s face it, no matter how finely we rebuild the engines of our Austin-Healeys they remain an a design of 1950s or earlier. Therefore any lubricant used should be designed for that age of design. Okay I know that lubricants have improved dramatically, but have a look at the recommendations in the handbook.

 

No way should you use oils designed for modern cars. Have a look around as there are a number of companies around the world that cater for our cars. I use Penrite which is either made here in Australia or in the UK.

 

Have a look at this:

Then have a look the Penrite website for all the other specialised lubricants they make for older vehicles.
