I'm also using this in my 4.5, but I've bought Motul 300V Chrono 10W-40 for the next oil change, plus one of David Brown's V8filters as discussed in another thread.
Any particular reason for changing.I've been happy enough with all the Morris lubricants and use them throughout the whole car, found a decent supplier who gives me some discount and always provides a good service.
Rang Castrol, nice Castrol technical expert chappy said use 10W60 fully synthetic and ignore all the bks about zinc - it protects when bare metal is rubbing on bare metal, ie when you have lost 90% of your oil, by which time you are screwed anyway.....
I actually run my Chimaera on Shell Helix Racing 10w60 (track days are an addiction) - would that be appropriate for your super duper AJP race engines?
You can get it at £105 for a nice yellow 20 litre drum off Ebay:

So is there a trend here ?
0w40 - as originally specified by TVR but could be too thin
15w50 or 10w60 - high mileage engine
10w40 - alternative to original spec for low mileage engines
Well the 10W-60 recommendation was from the builder of my new engine for after 2k miles running in only. (Running in on mineral oil)0w40 - as originally specified by TVR but could be too thin
15w50 or 10w60 - high mileage engine
10w40 - alternative to original spec for low mileage engines
