This is the perfect oil for pre-1970 classic cars. When I bought my 1961 MGA, it had been filled with modern semi-synthetic oil and the pressure was very low when the engine was hot. The low detergent Castrol XL was the correct viscosity as originally recommended and improved oil pressure significantly (although I also did an engine and cooling system flush).

There are so many variations in engine oils out on the market, I would find difficult to make a correct selection. However selecting a brand that has such a pedigree and being advised by my trusted motorcycle restorer, was more than enough to me. The tin makes me think of the 1960's when most goods were genuine and made in England.

Great oil for older engines. Modern oil sometimes too thin but Castrol Classic thick enough to lubricate the wider tolerances of older and worn units and keep oil pressure higher.

Product is good. The can has a very vintage look. Some small dents in the can most likekly due to poor handling conditions by carrier. Otherwise everithing OK.

This, in my opinion is the best oil you can use in the combined engine & gearbox of classic Minis. I own a classic Mini & it was the oil of choice of the works Rally Minis in the 1960's. With that kind of recommendation I have never had any doubts about using it.
