Tim D. Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi all, Changed the oil. Last oil change was approx. 3000 miles ago (albeit hard miles doing the 10 countries rally.) Just an observation, oil pressure has increase by 5psi across the board. Wasn't low in the first place, but interesting observation. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel Yes Nigel regular changes must make a difference, and particularly important too when using mineral oil I would've thought. Did Triumph ever offer an oil cooler as a factory option on the TR's. Some cars of the day had them. My Cooper S has one as standard, and I remember the MGB having one also. Maybe the Lotus Cortina? Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
