Chris,
Yes, when the Owners Manual names a recommended type of oil I use it when I=
=20
still can get it, as this is what they used at the factory and they knew=20
why they recommended it. Castrol or Penrite or Millers or even others still=
=20
produce the right spec.mineral oil.
And these recommended oils kept my classic cars running for 50years plus.=
=20
So why shall I use different and perhaps ruin my gearbox, engine or rear=20
axle?
Sorry I still can=C2=B4t believe modern synthetic oils are tested in=20
Austin-Healey engines, gearboxes and rear axles and are formulated to keep=
=20
modern engines/gearboxes/axles/etc. of a much different design running.
=20
For me:
=20
No synthetic oils in my classic cars!
=20
I like to have crossplies fitted to my classic cars of the 50/60s, but=20
that=C2=B4s my personal taste as for me it gives a period driving experienc=
e I=20
like.
=20
I can=C2=B4t get the original paint anymore, so I use modern paint matchin=
g the=20
original colour and appearance.
=20
Sorry I do not fill in 50 year old air in the tyres (hard to get) and I=20
have 2bars front and 2bars rear filled in.
=20
And yes, I drive my Austin-Healeys, but not daily, as we also have modern=
=20
cars here to drive in daily madness. Much more confortable by the way and=
=20
better suitable to my daily business.

Hey Josef,
Your criticism and sarcastic posts have finally arced me up to respond.=20
So - if I'm reading your posts - from somewhere back in the 1950's - you=20
don't use anything that isn't in the owners manual, or the driver's=20
handbook?
"And nothing else"
No synthetic oils?=20
No modern tires/ tyres?
No modern paint?
Is that your point? Nothing that is not in the manuals from 50 plus years=
=20
ago?=20
=20
Tyres? Tires?=20
Seriously?
=20
Mk III drivers handbook
Radial-ply tyres (Dunlop SP41)
Tyres:
Size, 5.90 - 15 tubed.
Front, 20 lb. /sq. in
Rear, 25 lb. /sq. in
Maximum performance speeds:
increase all pressure by 5 lb./sq.in=20
=20
So that's what you run on your Healey?
That's clearly only ok in your book if you use 1966 air. Modern air is=20
clearly not acceptable.=20
Those are your tyres?=20
Dunlop SP41
=20
So your tyres are 50 plus years old.=20
http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/dunlop-sp41
<http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/dunlop-sp41>
Seriously?=20
You whinge about this list every couple of years, because it's not=20
technical enough for you.=20
And yet you advocate not using oil designed or manufactured in the past 15=
=20
years?
So you run 50 plus year old tyres?
So why don't you write us a technical article advocating how oil/ tires/=20
tyres/ batteries/ etc have not changed /improved a Healey in the past 50=20
plus years.=20
Do you drive your car Josef?
Seriously. You call yourself into account by criticizing people who use=20
modern oil etc and drive their cars.=20
Write us a technical article.=20
=20
Seriously.=20
