Hi

Same as the X/flow. A good quality mineral 20/50.

Cheers Matt

I use castrol magnatec 10/40, never had any issues with it for the pinto. Most important thing is regular oil changes. I use the same oil in the bluebird too.

I use Castrol fully synthetic 10w60 which is the stuff they recommend for highly stressed engines. Aint cheap at £45 a bottle though....

You can't go wrong with Valvoline racing 20/50.
