Hi all,
I have recently obtained 2x25l drums of the following:

Now, I know it says diesel engine oil, but its the same weight as I use in my V8, and I think meets all the same standards. If its ok to use I just inherited a lot of free oil changes!

Going into a Rover V8, so not that new... the design's only about 50 years old
I figured it would be fine and all the correct standards are on the drum - just thought it would be worth checking!

using incorrect grades of oil can be detrimental to your engine causing difficult starting in cold weather to internal damage to the engine blah blah blah , id do the same and fire it in if it was my own thou

Cheers Dennis.
The engine was completely stripped and rebuilt by me a few years ago, but used very little since then so there should be no debris at all - I remember the toothbrush work...
The oil is however full of water as it's been sat so long, so its already got a fresh load of the Morris oil.
After MOT and 75mile drive to Portsmouth, it's getting another change and a new filter (genuine).
500-1000 miles later another change to something a bit more special with a new filter.
I'm actually glad it's detergent as I'm really using it as flushing oil!
Thanks all.
