Good morning
What is the recommended engine oil for a 3L8 XKE. I use mineral 20W50 but do you have a recommended brand? the prices for the same volume are sometimes simple to double
Thanks a lot
marc

Hi Marco
If you whant 20w50 you can find ‘chez Norauto’
I use it in my old BMW and it’s perfect when you change it every year

Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil-Conventional for Classic and Flat tappet engs is an excellent highly rated oil and should be available to you. Good levels of ZDDP.
Available in 20w50, 10w40, and 10w30 In Europe I believe.

There are a number of "Classic" mineral formulations for the 20W-50 range: e.g. Motul, Millers, Castrol.
All of them contain the recommended ZDDP amount of about 1200 ppm.
