Subject: Re: [Mgs] Dashpot Oil<br>
<br>
Mike,<br>
Everyone has an opinion on this subject. If you are happy with 20 wt, use<br>
that. If you want to try 90 wt gear oil, give that a try. I don't believe<br>
any of these choices are going to damage anything. It is pretty easy to<br>
switch if you want to try something else. Someone will tell you that the<br>
gear oil and motor oil are not measured on the same scale. I guess that<br>
someone is me. <a href="https://bobistheoilguy.com/viscosity-charts/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bobistheoilguy.com/viscosity-charts/</a><br>
John Twist knows more about MGs than just about anyone, but some equally<br>
wise people disagree with him on this particular subject. I don't think you<br>
are going to find a "right" answer.<br>
