MG
The Classic Marque

Thanks Anam, I knew the MM wasn't any measure of condition, which is why I put a light load in the shape of my tyre inflator on the battery. As I mentioned that killed it stone dead.

Willy, the concrete thing is interesting. As soon as I get home I'm moving my spare battery off the floor onto some wood! However the duff battery was in the Morris all the time so we can't blame that.

Bill, check this out.

"A customer changes their brand of oil and then complains of low oil pressure --".

"-- Do not be fooled by those oil companies building a 'thicker' oil under a standard viscosity rating --".

So it does happen.

Good discussion on oil cooling the engine here Guy.

Yep, Iran has struck twice now. The world and Iran is waiting to see what Israel will attack in Iran.

They might go for the oil facilities, but their nuclear developement sites make more sense. Iran is closer than ever to becoming nuclear armed. If that happens, Iran will become very dangerous. Better to prevent that.

I flew over Iran on the way here. Then Qatar diverted their fi...

"If a 20/50 oil is properly rated, why should one brand produce different oil pressures than another?"

Bill, I have no idea why, but I found it does.

Started using this in an air cooled VW engine because of its high zinc content (1500 per million) and have continued to use it in the A series.

Iran has struck at Israel already. Can't answer the rest. Enjoy the Phillies - maybe you're safer there than here.....

It's back. Yay. Lol.

Possibly the first beer I ever ordered in a pub.

If a 20/50 oil is properly rated, why should one brand produce different oil pressures than another? I'm currently using "Torotec" from Aztec oils, sold by my local factors and it produces the same oil pressure as Halfords Classic I.e. 60/65 revving hot, can't remember tickover.

Karl, exactly why I wrote " I don't want to fret about it" and "I like easy fixes"
Pressure looks low but this needs checking, and for gentle road use it may not matter too much anyway.

Anam, its the engine I have in my frogeye so I haven't done much mileage anyway, but I haven't noticed any marked change in pressure. I posted as much to see what comments I got on the topic of oil a...
