Morris Minor Owners Club

I agree with Alex Holden because a friend of mine who is in the "oil "business and is a well known Morris Minor enthusiast says exactly the same .
You can safe yourself a lot of money with that knowledge .

Hmm, good point. I'll have to change it as soon as I can after the rally.

Yes he is quite right.
It will dramatically improve the oil leaks to slick status
The mini is the same as the Minor your 20/50 recommendation is correct

Just to clear up a point here....when I said it's a "J" reg mini, I mean it's a '91 and not a '71 car.

Still best to use 20/50?

Put Put,itwas meant to be a little bit of humour Kevin.

If you bring your new oil, you could change it when you get to our house on the Friday, Alex.

Sorry completely missed that

As the bobbys used to tell me when I was akid in England
Awright son ill let you off this time but dont do it again.

I think the Halfords stuff is supposed to be OK.

LAst time I looked, the halfords 20/50 had no ratings on the label AT ALL, despite having the price of a premium oil! Anything without ratings is to be avoided unless it's just for flushing.

You're intending doing 500 miles before the LEO

I'll be lucky to have any miles (or even an MOT) before the rally! Can I start the rally with the Minor on a trailer??
That gives me a few more days to get an MOT and still make the ferry to Orkney...
