Fred has filters in the club spares scheme. As far as oil is concerned a Classic blend of 20w50 mineral oil will be ideal. Comma Classic 20w50, Millers Classic Pistonese 20w50 mineral etc. You need a 'Classic' blend to get enough ZDDP (zinc additive) to ensure protection of our old fashioned metal to metal bearing surfaces. A synthetic or even semi synthetic Classic blend is not necessary on an OHV engine.

Fine if you want oil filters just let me know - £5 + P&P - it is probably better to get plugs, air filter and points to make the P&P more acceptable. :P
