[Healeys] Oil Additives

I have been using 15-W40 Classic Car Motor Oil from the Indiana Region Classic Car Club .  Perfect as it is.  Very reasonable price even with shipping.

I have been using 20W50 Valvoline VR-1 in my old Brit motorcycles and my BT7 for well over 20 years (around when the ZDDP issues arose and I was doing a fair bit of motorcycle engine building) and have had no issues with it.  My general feeling is that the oil companies do a lot of research into the formulation of their products and there is a wide array of product to choose from.  It is more a matter of selecting a product from that wide array that works for your vehicle, not playing alchemy by making up custom mixes.  In my opinion mixing oil products is akin to mixing medications; you really don’t know what reactions are going on.  We rely on pharmacists to keep us on the straight and narrow with our meds, I think we should rely on the oil companies to do likewise with our lubricants.
