Oil preferences

Post by sjm »

Another simple question - what oil do people prefer to run in their 356s on as well please?

TIA (again...)

Simon,

It is not actually a simple question -

It depends on what cam you have - High Cam Lobe pressures require an oil with High concentrations of Zinc and phos

However, for most engines Valvolene 20 / 50 Racing is good oil
