Hi all,
I am about to change the engine oil in my Mk1 3000GT Capri. Each year I have run it on old style 20/50 oil as I?ve figured that was the oil it was manufactured for so I?ll use it.
I realise that oil technology moves on so I asked my local motor factors what oil is recommended. It is apparently a 10-30. And reading the container to does say it is recommended for high milage Ford engines?.. (My car is high milage:
130,000 miles but doesn?t do a high milage now as she?s getting kinda old).It does seem a bit odd to me though as I would have thought a worn engine would need the lattitude of a higher viscosity oil. Wouldn?t a
10-30 oil be a bit thin!Any advice/thoughts welcome.
Cheers,
Paul.
