Title: 815 Engine oil Post by: bobhenry999 on 17 April, 2013, 08:50:35 PM Chaps,
Over the last 30 years that I have owned Flavias, I have always used 20/50 classic old fashioned engine oil. I am just about to give my 63 coupe a service, and wondered if anyone has any thoughts on taking advantage of modern technology and using a more modern oil. I have seen some reports of using Fiat Selenia HPX in Fulvias, would this be a possibility ? Your thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.

Took it for a rtun and it seems to be a little smoother than before, or maybe my oil was just due for a change.
