What oil would you use in her?

Thanks for all the replies, not got round to looking yet.

I'm a bit OCD about the oil I use, strangely, it's cheep stuff!

I insist on 20W/30, both in the engine and gearbox.

15/40 made ours breathe and leak worse than usual, oil consumption went up too.

Changed back to 20/30 (which was what the grade of Castrol Multi Use, not Multi Purpose, was, reccomended by DB) and it it's ok since.

It's cheap, crude stuff by today's standards, but, it was good enough in the 70's, and is still fine for them today!
