I have been using Castrol 20/50 since it had liquid tungsten in it.
They have changed the formula over the years but I still beat the crap 
out of my Sprites and never had an oil related problem.
My 59 is a bit tired these days and I plan on refreshing it this coming 
winter including new rings and bearings but it has been about 10 years 
or more since I did the rebuild on that engine. 2 body shells, same 
engine. PIECES was rebuilt in 1983, that engine saw 3 different bodys 
before it was sold.
If you ask me, all this oil stuff is a load of crap, the same crap with 
unleaded gas.
Oh  you need a no lead head now, well I never have done a no lead head 
and I never had ANY valve related problems EVER on any Sprite.
