Since the issue does always seem to resurface...I checked my official TR4
Workshop Manual. It says only to use 'the current grade of engine oil'.

Go figure!

>The dashpot oil issue resurfaces from time to time and there are a variety
of answer of what people use.  The dashpot oil ONLY performs a function
during acceleration and does nothing during idle, cruising and
decelerating.
It dampens the rise of the piston causing an enriched mixture during
acceleration.  The heavier the weight of the oil, the slower the rise of
the
piston will be and the richer the mixture during acceleration.
