I wondered about running the engine on fully synthetic as it seems more "slippery " than mineral oil , any one done it ?
Hey Nigel, Think you will find synthetic is also a multigrade with even more additives in that require the use of a filter. Austin 7 engines with white metal bearings are very forgiving and unless you are using the RN very hard I doubt you will notice. You would be better off having an extra pint in the pub than putting synthetic in a none filtered engine.
Good Luck
Keith
