Taffius Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi - newbie in here now again. What is a good / poor oil pressure gauge reading under normal running conditions (yes I know need a book!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Flinn Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Most Triumph 4 & 6 Cylinder Engines are recommended to be 40-60 lbs/Sq inch at 2000 RPM? Around 25 PSI at tick over is about right too, all figures when hot. Use a good quality 20/50 Mineral Oil and change it at least once a year and the filter.

Taffius Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Gary, many thanks. What oil is recommended or what is preferred by most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanT Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 There are various threads on this but the ones most recommended are Valvoline VR1 20W50 and Millers Classic 20W50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I like millers CSS20-60, but my cars are driven hard. For most people a quality oil with a spec will be fine. Comma, millers, penrite, valvoline all make 20/50 oils. And a few others. But be aware that the 1500 is the triumph engine that gives oil the hardest time of any engine. If using for motorway trips at/about the speed limit, or driven hard, do look at the valvoline VR1 (from eurocarparts, usually cheapest and free delivery) or millers css.

thescrapman Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Lots of us use Valvoline VR1 or Millers Classic Sport (the Sport is important). There is also a Penrite one that is good. Cheers Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffius Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Cheers all - at least I have a choice of a few brands and recommendations - very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
