Hello everyone,
I just bought a 1973 Lotus Europa Special (European model) and I'm trying to figure out the best oil to use in the engine and gearbox. Manual suggests everything from 20w20 to 20w50 depending on the climate. Is it ok to use redline 10w40 fully synthetic in the engine and redline mt-90 in the gearbox in summer use?
Another issue I'm having is a leak from both driveshafts. What size are driveshaft/output shaft seals and the o-rings? Is 36x54x7mm the correct size?
Also what is the correct size of the sump plug washer?
Thank you!
