Fuzz Townshend's Classic Oils' , are they good ?

[DamianZ28]

Just browsing on various classic oils for my 73 V8 P6 and came across this website, has anybody used this oil and in there V8:
Heritage 20W50

Or would this be better for our smaller V8's, I know these aren't considered muscle car V8's but still a V8:
Muscle Car 10W-30

Fuzz is obviously a well know and very experience classic car engineer (TV , magazines) so with that in mind I'm sure he wont market any old rubbish!

Yes
I did a bulk buy at the Silverstone Classic. I did check out the spec and it seemed to do what I wanted at the price point. I looked around as Millers decided to hike their prices. TBH I change oils once a year, and the cars are lucky if they see the 3000 miles I buy on the insurance.

I feel the guy has a genuine desire to do things right, and agree that it would be pointless for him to peddle rubbish.

I think the 10W - 30 would not fair well in a Rover with any significant miles on it. But if you want an oil debate the internet will not disappoint.

Hi mate, yeah I'll go for his 20-50 regular classic oil with the ZDDP. I'll give the internet debate a miss lol.

Two things that impressed me. One, you don't have to hunt for hours to find the ZDDP figures like you do for VR1 or Millers or Castrol Classic, They are readily published as well as the other ratings. Two, I bought 25 litres of oil and the salesman lent me a very posh folding aluminium sack barrow to wheel the oil back to my car, which was probably worth more than the oil, he did so willingly without any ID or deposit, nice people.
