I am told the engine oil spec is monograde 30 but no one seems to sell it.
Who sells it or do you use something else?

If you live in California then by all means put in 30 grade oil but here in the UK you will need to use a multi-grade oil such as 15/40 or 20/50. Many people here use Castrol GTX Magnatec 15w/40.

Any views on green Duckhams mineral oil, it's what I use in my 2.4S?

I have always used Shell Helix Super (or its predecessor Gemini). It is a mineral oil rather than synthetic but seems to be good for early 911s. If you want to read about it go to
www.shell.com, car oils, Shell for Motorists, UK, Shell Helix, FAQs.
Shell supply the lubricants for Ferrari, Audi and Ducati racing teams.
