I have been using straight 140, but David Hinds, who is no mean engineer, highly recommends this synthetic oil:

He tells me the MMM J2 racing boys swear by it. Apparently it makes for much smoother and quicker gear changes, which has to be good. :lol:

Yesterday's chat about transmission oil has just lead me to do an oil change on the gearbox. I'll take the lil Morris for a run later this evening and report back. Hopefully find a change from 90 grade to the correct 140 will improve the gear change... and the racket coming from 1st and 2nd gears :lol:
