MAte
you can use just about any 20W/50 mineral based oil, synthetics are a big no no, hope that helps

Love the "replace oil every 60 days" sticker in that The Mini Experience magazine article. BMC followed the Docs advice even way back then :lol:

Autos want 10w40 or 15w40 I think,
but I don't know for sure.
Anyone confirm for me (before I change mine!)
:D

20w50 is best IMO with very frequent changes (incl filter) and definitely no synthetics.

PM sent to bulla.
Book says 10W30, 10W/40 or 20W/50.
1st two are a bit thin for hot climates.
Any 20W/50 is OK in the Land of Oz (particularly if it ain't a new box), provided it is NOT friction modified.
eg Valvoline SF 20W/50, Castrol GTX, Havoline 20W/50, etc.

The weakest part of this old autobox is the forward clutch, if you want it to last as long as possible, change oil and filter regularly. Like, every 1000-1500 miles. :wink:
The drivers handbook states 3000 miles (as for manuals) but for a `matic, that is too far.
It also says 3000 miles for the `matic's filter- that is probably OK if you change oil at 1500 (it's a big filter). :wink:
