Hi Adam,
Using good quality MG recommended engine oil. Not the modern stuff!
You MG parts dealer can help on this.
Espesially when you have an overdrive, this is very important, as the oil
type infuences the working order of the overdrive.
Cheers,
Hans

Subject: Wrong oil in gear box
Hey got the front end figured out thaks guys it was the wheel bearing the
previos owner had failed to place the cotter pin in the nut, while I was
under the car I took the opertunity to check all the fluids and came across
an interesting discovery, I removed the dipstick for the gear box and looked
at the fluid. It was a clear straw color and smelled funny, I beleve it is
automatic transmisson fluid, any thoughs? and would this hurt the
transmisson? I am going to drain it and replace the fluid in the morning
before work, but is there anything else I should do?? BTW this one has o/d
if that is of any concern.
