There seems to be a massive difference of opinion on what oil is best for the AJP V8.

TVR Power - Semi-synthetic 10W40
TVR Manual and Racing Green - Fully-synthetic 0W40
OPIEOIL - Fully-synthetic 5W40 or 10W50

My new Cerb has done about 28k miles and I would be really interested to see what others use.

Thanks

APM always told me to use 10-50 fully synth in mine (mobil 1). He built it, so I did as told!

I am on 10-50 fully synth and my oil pressure is much much better right away. And i changed the relive spring too.
