Happy Christmas everyone,
hopefully you'll all be looking at the website over Christmas so I am looking for advice on what oil to use for my V12.
As she has been converted to manual she is getting rather a lot of rev's when compared to the lazy auto, and I can assure you she does get the rev's very often. So I (or more likely my man) will be giving it an oil and filter change soon, so I am looking at recommendations for the best oil to use.
Also oil additive, Liqui Molly etc, any thoughts on these??
Thanks for any 2 peneth..

20/50 from Morris is what's in the mates Series 1 and apart from that I couldn't say . Maybe a better response over on the Classic Section ?

If I was changing from 20/50 mineral I'd be looking for a fully synthetic with the higher number at either 40 or 50. The lower number makes little difference in UK climate.

I'm sceptical about oil additives.

do the Opie Oils guys still give (good) free advice on here? I seem to recall they were very helpful.
