Opinion on Mobil 1 in a TR6.
Don't do it. Apart from the price (the packaging should wear a bandit mask)
Mobil 1 was developed for modern engines using closer tolerances.
The six pot Triumph engine was originally designed and introduced as a
1600/2000cc unit in the very early sixties (certainly designed in the late
fifties) when we were hardly used to using multigrade oils ie 20/50.
For what its worth I would not even use semi-synthetic oil in this engine
either.
I would stick to standard 20/50 and if you want a little extra protection
perhaps a tin of STP or Wynns but that is another story not everyone likes
additives.
