Hi, what oil for a1969 2.0 E spec engine running on carbs please?
For road use really, a few k miles per year.
And if it were to attempt a track day should I use anything different?
Thanks
Graham

Hi I have a 1967 912 and not sure which Oil to use. I use Valvoline VR1 20/50 Mineral Oil on my Elan and Cooper S but not sure whether that is correct for the 912.
I had previously tried Valvoline Synthetic on the Elan and it leaked like a sieve so have steered away from Synthetics on older engines other than a race engine.
Recommendations gratefully received.

Re: Oil advice and recommendations here
If your oil is euro B2 rated then why not stay with what you are using?
