Morris lubricants oil or something else?

[Refueler]

Having looked after Base Oil exports for many years in the past - which went to various Company's in EU / UK ... for producing over counter Lubricating Oils .... (I ran testing / loading / discharges etc ).

I have one rule :

The more budget the oil - the more often I change it.

Why ? The cheapest can often include recycled and with various additives to bring it up to spec. As you move up the brands - recycled phases out - but additives still prevail. All Oils have additives to counter specific items ... but the bottom line is life of the oil .. how soon does it break down.

There's nothing wrong with using cheap oil of the required form - just resign to the fact of changing it more often.

Shouldn't that be Morri?

Morrius should be Morrii
Morris should be Morrises
I think

Comma also have a decent selection of oils (and antifreeze) for older engines in their X-flow range.

I rate Morris lubricants very highly, have used them extensively in the past on older vehicles, especially some exotic ex military vehicles with demanding oil types.
Regularly use there advise line, very helpful, unlike a certain company that led me down the wrong path.
I had a few friends high up in major truck maintenance roles, they all thought Morris were excellent, without exception.
My go to company for oils if there isn’t another major supplier that provides what I need.
Basic old engines need a decent basic mineral oil, but in my experience if you want to treat you’re engine well Morris do provide, probably above many other lubricant suppliers.
