From what I have read a good quality 20/50 with a ZDDP concentration of over 1000ppm in it.

I'm tempted to give this a go in the Van and my Clubby when we run out of cheap oil.

Supposedly has a ZDDP concentration of 1500ppm

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

i had similar problems with the coma classic ( steel tin i think its the same as the halfrauds stuff)
probably unrelated bt thats what was in for 2k miles before something in the box went taking out the engine

I use Valvoline VR-1 20W/50 in the van.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

exactly what i have planned, imo it doesnt offer enough long term protection for a performance push rod engine nevermind gearbox *happy*
ideal for running in

Bennyy, Millers is only in brighouse so go collect and then can also advise if needed.
