I'm sure it's okay for use in tractors, so it would be okay for a Triumph. ;-)

Let me say 'my bad' and look back into it. I think it was Hap Waldrop that I
got that from.

Are you certain about it being meant for daily use ??
There's been lots of discussion on the TRIUMPHS list about this very subject,
and there's a general belief that all the Valvoline racing oils have less
detergent, and thus require frequent changes because contaminants are NOT held
in suspension as with normal motor oils. Particularly with an LBC that sees
relatively little mileage, this would be a bad thing.
