I have heard that you should use a number of different oils in the dashpot, from "3 in 1" to ordinary engine oil. I was advised by an old "Classic Car" guru years ago to use ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) in SU's and thats what I have used in my Mini and the twin SU's on the MGB with no problems at all. I also know of others on here who have always used ordinary engine oil in there, again with no problems whatsoever. |
