That's the one Dave didn't do on mine as it was OK . Although I think the main reason was that we were running out of time as it was beer o clock

I stick with oil in the original recommended viscosity range as I know that's where the testing was done. Lotus did recommend 60 oil but I wonder how much testing they did, or if it was just to standardise?
10w 60 is comparitavely thick when cold and thick when hot.
