Okay ... I would like to get a summary if someone has a strong opinion
(which I am sure we all do) ..
 
What is the recommended standard motor oil brand and weight used, and for
what climate?
 
What is the recommended synthetic motor oil brand and weight used, and for
what climate?
 
I have a TR4 up and running, and a 250 which I am afraid is going to be a
LONG LONG time away from running.  I like the idea of using synthetic in the
TR4, but, as most british cars are want to do, it essentially does it's own
oil changes by leaking oil and it gets expensive using synthetic I imagine.
 
I have typically used Castrol GTX and either 10-40 or 20-50 weights.
