Paul318UK Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have always used Red X in all cars with SU carbs. Similar to 3 in 1 viscosity but any losses just helps the upper cylinderhead lubrication,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Hutchings Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 20/50 in mine! Tried 3-in-1 after believing everything I read on here a few years back, won't be doing it again. JohnD's advice to try a few oils seems good to me, I tried 3-in-1, 20/50 and some gear oil (70-80 ish) and settled on the 20/50.Handbook says to use 'engine' oil, tuning manual says to use 'engine' oil, and common sense says to use 'engine' oil once you learn how the CD carbs work... therefore I think I'll use engine oil.
