I know this was discussed a while back, but I fianlly got around to 
changing the oil in the Midget on Sunday (it was eiter that or play golf 
and since I need to drive the Midget - it won). 
I put Castrol 5-50 Syntec in. The oil pressure seems to be fine, or even 
a little higher than before. 
I was a dedicated Valvoline user (20W-50) cuz it always gave me a better 
oil pressure than the Castrol. 
The only Valvoline synthetic I could find was 10W-30 and with summer 
coming on I felt that wasn't enough, esp since the Midget runs a little 
hotter than before with the electric fan instead of the water pump fan. 

I'll give a road report after the Philly MG vs TR Rally on the 25th.
