Redline MT90 can be used but is not easily available, at least not in
the NL. There are other similar oils (GL-4), some synthetic others
mineral: Quaker state HP or Synquest, Millers EP, Shell Spirax GX,
Texaco Multigear MTF and others. Practically all are hard to find and do
not add much if anything at all in normal applications to simple 20W50.
These oils do not contain S or Cl containing compounds to do damage to
brass baulk rings or other Cu containing metal parts.
