Lee Dutton Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Does anyone know of a source for a magnetic drain plug for the engine sump on my 4a please. Many thanks Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lee Dutton Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 BTW am using Duckhams 20/50 with a k&n HP 2005 spin on oil filter. Lots of chat about engine oil after reading it I settled for Duckhams hope it helps the oil pressure. Lots of people doing classic oil now Halfords about £20.....also seen Wilko classic oil for £18 any comments? Regards Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Hi Lee, The Halfords classic oil does not have quite enough ZDDP (apprx 1000ppm) From past posts there is a question mark over the Duckhams. It is not disclosed on the tin. Heritage Classic 20/50 has more then enough. Clearly specified on the tin. Good value at £18/gallon Roger Edited January 21, 2020 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lee Dutton Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks Roger, Heritage Classic £18 sounds a bargain where from? Cheers Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's gone up in price ! now £19.95 for 5 litre. Don't worry too much about oil pressure, the TRs like flow, some oils are marketed on increasing oil pressure, if it's a problem I'd rather fix it mechanically. https://www.classic-oils.net/Classic-Oils-Heritage-20W50 Order 5 x 5 litre and get free delivery from their off line website.

monty Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Classic oils of Bicester do a good 20/50 with the correct amount of ZDDP. Good friendly Company. I have gone to their oil from Millers as it was getting silly price wise. No difference in pressure or amount used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monty Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Sorry Mick & Roger! We are talking about the same good stuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
