[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 109200, member: 59"] A thought occurred to me whilst reading BigEd's comments above. Does the thinner cold viscosity of modern oils lead to a greater incidence of sumping? That said, I have taken to using the thinnest multigrade synthetic oils I can find. Having gone from always using Castrol GTX which I think was originally 20 - 50 before they changed it to 10 - 40, I now use 10 - 50 or even 5 - 50 if I can find it. On the Knight I use ATF in the gearbox, the only problem being that it is invisible on the dipstick. [/QUOTE]
