My favourite oil is:

1. Brad Penn Grade #1 "The Green Oil"

Contains high levels of ZDDP for our tractor flat tappet cam engines:
In addition to our unique base oil cut, increased concentration of “zinc” (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate a.k.a. ZDDP) provides outstanding anti-wear/anti-scuffing protection for engines employing either ‘flat tappet’ or roller cams. BRAD PENN® Penn Grade 1® High Performance Oils have been evaluated by a number of premiere camshaft manufacturers with tremendous success. Many are now recommending our Penn Grade 1® High Performance Oils to provide outstanding protection for their ‘flat tappet’ or roller cams.

Second choice would be Castrol EDGE Sport 20w50.


I have used both these oils and am very happy with both, I am currently using BRAD PENN in the group Nb car as recommended by GR (which he uses in his race car) which is a good enough reason for me, looks a little unusual however to see green engine oil in a mini.

Not that easy to find XLD Classic?
I can only find XLD Premium?
What's the difference?

Classic being an SG oil should have more ZDDP in it then the Premium, which is an SJ grade.

There is a blurb on the Valvoline site somewhere besides this..

Good discussion on ZDDP in this thread, scroll down..
