When I bought my MGB mechanic's project car in Victoria several
years ago, he reccommended Castrol 20w50 for the newly rebuilt engine. I'v
been using it ever since except for a -40 winter in Calgary, and am quite
happy with the operation of the car.
Being in a hot climate like you do is an argument for using
THICKER, not thinner oil. You are using approximately 10 weight oil at 30
C, AFAIK.
