[Mg-t] MG TD oil

[Mike Duvall]

For whoever posted the original question, go get break-in oil  
available everywhere -- Royal Purple is one brand.

Carl,  Not every store stocks every product but try and look around.   
There are all sorts of non-SM in Illinois (farm country) .  Check out  
the nearest Farm and Home store. If you want to drop below a SJ,  
you'll likely have to accept a non-api certified oil because they  
don't test obsolete ratings except that a SH rating is still go when  
coupled with a C.   So a good oil would be rated CF/CF-4/SH  -- that  
would be a high detergent oil.

Remember the oil was rated SB for all the T series cars!   Check tout
