I hate to make comments about oil as I don't know anything about oils or their qualities and suitability. I have used Penrite Classic Mini oil and it improved the gearchange (as synchros are getting worn). Recently had an S motor built by an old specialist in A and B series motors and his recommendation was Penrite HPR30 for running-in and regular use. Have used HPR30 in other minis in recent years and seems OK -especially with worn synchros and seems about the same as the Mini Classic oil and both are intended for similar type engines. |

Hi Ian_B I use Penrite HPR 30 as well and have done so since 2003 for my Cooper S. It was recommended as in Bill's case by a well known engine rebuilder. I'm more than happy with the product. Regards Pete. |

Regards Pete. you should be using 5-30W castrol Edge for the R53 engine Sorry to disappoint you  but the HPR 30 oil is for my 1970 Mk 2 Cooper S.I finished restoring it in 2003 But I do use Castrol Edge 5w-30 in my VW Golf GTI. |
