MG MGA - Oil Change

Interesting how engine oil goes off even when little used. Because of family medical issues over the last 2 years I have driven only very small mileages and have only now been able to find the time to do a complete service and general tune up etc. That includes the oil change. I use semi synthetic 20-50. The change to the new clean oil was readily apparent. Something you can't put your finger on but I sensed the engine came to life with its new blood. Interestingly the oil pressure also increased very noticeably between 5 to 10 psi. Shot straight up 70 cold idling whereas it had been lingering about 60 during recent months.

I would point out that previously I have always changed the oil annually, regardless of mileage. I had no intention of leaving it so long this time; just other more pressing and unavoidable priorities got in the way.
