It’s almost spring and owners will soon be servicing their classic cars to get them back on the road.

With that in mind, Mini Spares produces its own-brand 20w50 engine oil that has been especially designed for classic Minis. The oil contains a higher amount of Zinc/ZDDP (1300ppm) compared to the Castrol equivalent (of 800ppm. Thus it offers greater protection for classic engines and integral gearboxes.

This oil is close to the oil that BMC/Leyland recommended to overcome heavy oil consumption on Minis during the 1960’s period of warranty problems.

Mini Spares CLASSIC oil is in a class of its own when it comes to maintaining viscosity which thus reduces the risk of the oil leaks that plagued the mid-Sixties Minis.

Mini Spares CLASSIC oil has good mixing qualities with other oils and has a low-detergent cleaning chemical base to help protect small gearbox roller bearings and layshafts from abrasive wear.

Mini Spares CLASSIC oil is available in 5 litre containers as part number GUL7005T at £26.50 inc. VAT.
It is also available in 1 litre top-up containers.
