So forget all this modern stuff. I think I've seen the Halfords Classic is it the one in the old looking tin can. The Kent and Pinto were originally out at the same time so i assume they would have used the same spec Ford oil. What spec is it 20/50?

I was in Andrew Page yesterday and saw that Comma now do a classic 20/50 it is branded in a similar way to the Halford's stuff.

Being cynical weren't Comma selling 20/50 for about a fiver a gallon a short while back. Now in a tin with a nice picture of a classic mini on the front it costs about £20.

I use valvoline racing 20/50 in my x flow. It's mineral based, but a bit hard to track down.

Should be ok in the pinto. :)
