In a few words: The best type of engine oil that you can use is the synthetic one. You will find the rest of specifications such as viscosity and quality in the owner's manual of your MGB. It is commonly said that the oil is "heavier" when it is more viscous and "lighter" in the opposite case. Viscosity grades are measured based on SAE standards. We advise you to look for the recommended viscosity in your owner's manual or ask your trusted mechanic. When engines work at low temperatures engine start , the oil should be more fluid in order to reach every part of the engine and ensure immediate lubrication. After a few minutes, the temperature of the engine will rise and, ideally, the oil viscosity should be higher. This ensures proper lubrication without breaking the lubricant film. Nowadays, all oils meet this requirement and they are called multigrade oils lower viscosity at cold temperatures and higher viscosity at hot temperatures. A medium viscosity level would be the SAE 10W engine oil , which meet the needs of the current car models without difficulty. You can find the specific engine oil quality for your MGB in the Maintenance section of your owner's manual.
