Whats the general opinion for using this oil in a C1J ?. Using the discount code it works out just over £13 delivered for 4 litres !.

Looks ok mate, personally think its abit thin for an old push rod engine that has mineral oil specified as standard, therefore I use halfords semi-synthetic 15w-40 in the purple can ;)

As for gearbox oil I'm thinking something like this. Not cheap but then you dont exactly change it often so can live with that. Any suggestions, perhaps there is something more suitable ?.

(Elf) fully synthetic 75w80 is the correct oil for the JB and JC gearboxes.
