[Bmcu] 1962/1963 TR 4

[Robert Green]

I use "Brad Penn"  oil (known as the "Green" oil) in my vintage cars. It comes in various weights and is not synthetic. You can order it for not much shipping from various sources. This oil has a high ZDDP content and is great for older flat tappet cars.

He advised me against using current 85-90 weight grease for the differential-transmission because of the detergent in the newer greases and properties. Appreciate any suggestions. How about oil for engine-Still Castrol?  Thanks, Ralph
