Lubrication - MG MGB TOURER GHN5 Handbook

LUBRICATION
The lubrication systems of your new car are filled with high quality oils. You
should always use
a
high quality oil of the correct viscosity range in the engine,
gearbox and rear axle during subsequent maintenance operations or when
topping up. The use of oils not to the recommended specification can lead to
high oil and fuel consumption and, ultimately, damage to the engine, gearbox
or rear axle components.
Oils to the recommended specification contain additives which disperse the
corrosive acids formed by combustion and also prevent the formation of sludge
which can block oilways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Servicing
intervals must be adhered to.

Use a well known brand of oil to B.L.S. O.L. O.R. or MIL-L-2104B or A.P.1.
