Sorry to open a can of worms but what oil do people recommend? 1.9 DG petrol. ( new to t 25 ownership used to have a T2 which I ran on straight 30) just want to use the best oil.
Thanks.

Re: Oil
Cheers people,
Just wondered if it should be a 15/50 mineral oil only.

I use a 20w/50 mineral because I prefer it to synthetic.

Re: Oil
Thanks everyone, have decided to go with 15/50 ordered some Morris's 15/50 Golden film. Have used their oils before ( straight 30) in my old type 2 always seemed good. Used to use that green Halfords 20/50 in my old Triumph Spitfire which also seemed to stay nice and clean for for a good while.
