Morris Minor Owners Club

Picked up a book today from 1960 called 'Car Care' by Castrol. There's a picture in it i thought might be of interest. The caption reads: '30 degrees below freezing for 24 hours in the Motor Industry Research Association's Cold Chamber - and this Morris started first pull on the starter with Castrolite in the sump.' Sorry the photo isn't very good quality but I don't have a scanner.

Now, how much of that was the oil?

'...it will be seen that the oil plays a big part in starting up from cold, and during the first mile or so on the road that follows. Obviously the right oil is essential.'

Consider who wrote the book though! I bet it would do just as well with asda 20/50....

But maybe better still with Duckhams 20/50

people were still using monogrades in those days - hence the need to publicise the benefits of a multigrade.
