I beg to differ, I use 15W40 in my pinto and have done for over 10 years with no issues.

It was a 20w50 oil i used.

I was reading old forums and changed oil weeks ago best for this type of engine. Once im home ill see what type it was. I know it was a crosflow mineral oil...

The car has had plenty things done to it all of which id presume alter its running abilities.

Many thanks. Yea been saving for my dream summer toy for years. Its a pinto 2.0 with a webber carb. I say oil its more of a residue really but fairly splatters around the engine bay and was leaving a small puddle every time i parked. I might try bypassing 2nd catch tank and take it straight up. Worth a go. Yea plenty leads on here so good that everyone is on the same page! I have lots to ask about haha! 

Hello all. Just joined, wanted to ask for advice. Bought my super 7 10 weeks ago. Im sure its still a great buy. Its had quite a few upgrades but i wasnt happy with oil splatter from the crankcase breather outlet or the catch can outlet. The car came with a breather outlet on oil filler cap which was connected to a 2nd breather higher up the block then runing into a catch can and out to air. I wasnt happy with the oil spitting out the crankcase breather or the outlet from catch can. Pretty messy and lots of vapour coming out from under the bonnet. I tied in a 2nd can and lead crankcase breather to that then up to inlet manifold. Im prob catching at least 150ml oil every 10 miles. But much cleaner regarding vapour. Is there ways round this? Ive got a few more points but 1 at a time. Thanks.
