Selection of the right oil for the Mini

[richard1]

Tarija and Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Considering the all the comments on oils for Classic Minis that are posted on forums and Facebook, I have put together a paper on the lubrication needs of our cars and the differences in different oil qualities and viscosities that you will find in different countries and stores.

I hope there is some information in there to help you when you hit the shelves for oil, or when someone asks you for a recommendation.

I've included an email for those who have more questions or doubts.

I'm going to print it out, place it in a binder and put it next to my copy of Foulis' Overhaul Manual.
Thanks Richard

Thanks for this, I was using 15w40 Diesel oil, always wondered about motorbike oil, will switch over to it on the next oil change.
