Any good 20W/50, preferably not higher grade than SG. More modern oils have no ZDDP additive, which Minis and older V8s etc with flat tappets need to prevent cam lobe and follower wear. I like KMart's KMX 20W/50, it's 1/2 the price of Castrol Edge Sport 25W/50 (also a great oil). |

I used to use it. It loses viscosity too easy in high speed use, ie track days. There are better oils available now... ^^^ |

Their website now says this: Penrite wrote: Not recommended for motorcycles. SAE 20W-60, API SM/CF
If it's not suitable for bike engine/gearboxes, it's not suitable for a Mini either. KMX for me. |

Thats interesting about the HPR 30. i have used it for years and i have an allmost empty 200lt drum of it so when its finished i might go back to the good old BP Corse Plus. |
