Hi Steve
I use 20w50 from Duckham's, actually called Duckham's Q and is one of the
original recommended for the range of Triumphs that I have and in fact all
the Triumphs previous too, including the 1296 (1300) for the herald Which is
the same basic engine as the Spit, just not as highly tuned.
Graham.
