I have an identical problem to this. I also have twin SUs (HS4s) and until this weekend the car would often idle at around 1500rpm, with a little blip on the throttle settling it back down to 750rpm

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't you want a *heavier* oil to improve responsiveness? The more heavy the oil, the more damping you get - this will keep the throat smaller for lon
