As the owner of my very first British car I find it peculiar, surprised,
that the MG requires such heavy, thick, oil weight. The only
explanation I can come up with that anything thinner would probably find
cracks and crevices to creep through thereby increasing oil
consumption. For sure this will rule out using the slippery synthetic
oils. A shame cause they provide less friction and better wear and tear
control.
