Q & A: Modern Oil Lacking?
Thursday January 10th, 2008
Dear John
No doubt you are aware of the problem being talked about, that the formula for modern oil is lacking various ingredients considered essential for our older cars? I am the original owner 1974.5 MGB GT (my only car/regular driver), and I have just had a new engine installed in her; I'm particularly anxious not to ruin it! I have heard various suggestions - add STP; add something called "Compcam"; use "Red Line" synthetic oil.......what are your thoughts?
Whenever you have time, I'd be very interested to know your opinion, please?
Many thanks.

Tip of the Day

stop! The proper functioning of your brakes must ALWAYS be at the
top of your list of priorities. You owe this degree of safety to yourself,
your passenger, and all others on the road.
