I just read through this article about oil for classic motors.In the past I have used Millers oil for Classic/ Vintage engines from the local motor factors.I need to contact the previous owner of my coupe to see what oil he has been using, as putting oil with detergent in into and engine that has been running on non detergent oil can cause blockage problems unless the engine is stripped and cleaned out first,, due to the new oil shifting all the crud that has built up over the years.
