Hi Dave,

No prob. Yeah, a B234F is quite a bit different then the engine in a MGB, especially with the 16V head. A part synthetic oil would work, but there's really no point. With that you can't safely extend the drain interval so you should just buy a good non-synthetic like Castrol, Penzoil, Valvoline etc. Maybe the "High mileage" version. If you're going with non-synthetic you might want to try a good diesel oil like Shell Rotella T, Chevron, Mobil, etc. It's up to you, non-syn is fine, just make sure you keep it clean. Let us know how you make out.
