Reply To: Oil pressure

[David SelfridgeParticipant]

The Oil I have used in all the Tractions that I’ve owned over the years is Halfords for Classic Engines.  The first thing I do after purchasing a Traction,  into my stable, I flush the engine (no oil filter in these engines) then fit the Halfords oil, and to date I never had a problem. I did own a Light 15 that flickered the oil light when ticking over from I purchased to I sold. I covered some 5,000 miles with this car. Not completely certain about oil light pressure but I think oil light comes on at 5 psi which should be OK, start to worry if it lights above tick over.

If you Flush and fit new Oil this should help, by the way the Oil above  was specified by John Gillard many years ago,  and is the only  Oil he would use in a Traction Engine (Good enough for me)

Hope this Helps
