      Don’t think it’s the answer for me as it rather turns up the heat…..

      Hello All                  I had one of those about 25+years ago when I thought I had ulcers but may have had as the man said non but some scare tissue! I think Wine became the answer as non since (that I know of?) Not stopping the Medicine now! Roger

      Oil

      By DeTRacted · Posted

      They did but only because nothing better was available.  I use 20-60 in my 1930 M type which is fitted with a modern paper filter rather than the original wire gauze 'strainer'.  I did use sae30 to start with but found the monograde oil is too thick for easy starting in the winter and too thin when it gets hot. (The cooling is by thermo-syphon so the engine runs a bit hotter than a modern a lot of the time)

      Unpleasant. And how thoughtless of them not to let you watch!

      Thanks Nick.  The 20-50 should do me for both with limited use but an annual change of oil / filters

      Oil

      By Nick Jones · Posted

      Props up saggy oil pressure when hot. Finds it a bit harder to get past piston rings…… It’s probably not great oil but ok for the GT6 and 1500 which both like a drop or three (more in the case of the 1500!) Shouldn’t be needed on engines that are in good shape.

      I also think that the Alvis straight 6 was quite an advanced engine with a 7bearing crank etc the gearbox certainly was with caving synchro on all gears.

      I forgot your car is quite modern being 1938. Not that I am jealous of such a lovely motor 🤔😉😂 If you ever need somewhere to park it in France 😁

      It’s been on a LUCAS Racing 20W-50 oil For 10 years so hoping a good 20-50 will be ok

      Hamish i thought most vintage cars used single grade oil like SW30? The one in my garage does, or will when it comes out of it’s very long restoration
