Subject: Suitable Engine Oil
I have been using Morris Oil Magnol 20/50 in my 2 Litre engine for a number of years however it now seems difficult to find. I have used a multigrade since it has been rebuilt and it also has an external modern oil filter. I know that there is a school of thought that "any cheap oil will do" as long as its changed frequently but in relation to the cost of an engine rebuild I've always felt more comfortable using a more expensive oil (or am I wrong !). If I am unable to locate any more Magnol... does anyone have a view as to what would be a good oil to switch to ?
