I get to maintain my wife's 70 MGB. She drives it while I get to wash, wax and maintain it along with fix all the little things that go wrong with a 33 year old car.
Currently, the car uses Penzoil 20W-50 dino changed maybe yearly. The car sees about 2,000 miles per year since it's only driven in warm sunny weather. The engine was completely rebuilt (10 years, but no clue on miles) when the car was restored. Should I be able to run full synthetics like Amsoil, Royal Purple or Mobil 1? Also, what should my change frequency be?
The car is stored winters, but like I said, only driven 2,000 miles per year. I was thinking changing it every fall along with the filter (it uses a filter cartridge) in each fall before storage ad running on it all year. Does this sound like a solid plan?
Thanks,
Scott P
