RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS, FUELS AND FLUID CAPACITIES
~*
RECOMMENDED HYDRAULIC FLmDS
Clutch and Brake Reservoirs: Castrol Girling Brake and Clutch Fluid - Crimson or Unipart 550 Brake Fluid.
Where these proprietary brands are not available, other fluids which meet the S.A.E. J.1703 specification may be used.
RECOMMENDED FUEL
The Triumph TR6 engine is designed to operate on fuel having a· mmimum octane rating of 97 (High compression engines)
OR 91 (Lower compression engines): this is equivalent to the British 4 star and 2 star rating respectively.
Where such fuels are not available and it is necessary to use fuels of lower or unknown rating, the ignition timing must be
retarded from the specified setting, just sufficiently to prevent audible detonation (pinking) under all operating conditions,
otherwise damage to the engine may occur.
IMPORTANT: When cars for the U.S.A. market enter the "United States" the ignition timing must be set to suit the use of
the recommended grade of fuel AND TO COMPLY WlTH REGULATIONS ON EMISSIONS FROM THE CRANKCASE
AND EXHAUST.
ANTI-FREEZE SOLUTIONS
Only solutions which meet B.S.!. 3151 or 3152 specifications may be used.
