MOTUL SAE 50

£12.95 – £33.00

  • Type of vehicle: Classic Cars from 1900 to 1930
  • Application:  Engine/Gearbox
  • Formulation: Mineral
  • SAE Rating: SAE 50

Quality monograde mineral oil is used in classic engines because:

  • Comparatively high engine tolerances need a thick stable oil 
  • Low detergent levels don’t compromise early felt seals 
  • Gauze filters cannot remove suspended contamination. SAE 30 allows contamination to fall harmlessly to the bottom of the sump

Commonly used in:

  • Veteran and Vintage engines before 1930
  • Vintage engines running a gauze style oil filter in a hot environment
  • Veteran and vintage gearboxes

 

Technical Data Sheet
Clear
SAE 50 is commonly used in all 4-stroke petrol and diesel engines manufactured before 1930 and those engines with a gauze style filter in hot environments. It is a low detergent, low dispersant lubricant, so it should be changed every 6 months or 3,000 miles. Ideally use MOTUL Engine Clean to break down debris in the sump and drain when hot. Thoroughly clean the gauze filter before you refill.
For the first 60 years of motoring many gearboxes were designed to take the same or very similar oil to the engine. MOTUL SAE 50 is a quality monograde mineral oil that works very well in vintage gearboxes that require a heavy weight oil (Typically before 1930 or in hot climates). It has a very low detergent level so it is compatible with felt and fabric gaskets and seals found in most gearboxes before 1970.  
MOTUL SAE 50 is commonly used in the following vehicles: Classic VW Beetle, Classic VW Camper Van, VW T1, VW T2, Volkswagen, Pre-impact bumper Porsche, Porsche 911, Porsche 914, Porsche 356, Vintage Bentley, Vintage Rolls Royce, Vintage Daimler, Vintage Riley, Vintage Rover, Vintage Sunbeam, Vintage Triumph, Austin 7, Vintage Austin, Vintage MG, Vintage Frazer Nash, Vintage Lagonda
