Hello, My opinion on the proper oil for a "B" is based on nothing more than the ownership of 3 of the little beasts spanning some 12-15 years. I'm just a shade tree mechanic who once duct taped the handle of a Badminton racquet, one end to the bottom of the battery well cover, the other to the L U C U S fuel pump so I could wack it when it chose to malfunction. Be that as it may, I never used anything other than hardware store oil in any of my "B"s. Given that I live on Bainbridge Island, 7 miles W of Seattle by ferry, where the weather is neither hot or cold and nothing much very bad happens (except when the odd mountain blows up), so I use non detergent 30-weight (and limit driving when there's ash in the air). I seem to remember being told that the "B" engine's heritage traces to industrial motors which, by their nature, are not high strung. Indeed, I do not use high test gasoline either, preferring to let the clutch out in gear rather that pay a premium for premium just to keep the little blighter from cooking on and on and on and . . . .

I can average 23mpg in my 1974 roadster
MGB
The short answer is about a full day. Clutch replacement of an MGB, Roadster or GT entails the removal of the engine/transmission assembly from the car, then separating the two to access the clutch. There is no practical way to get to the clutch any other way, as the transmission cannot be removed with the engine in place.
how does a coil work in a MGB
MG MGB was created in 1962.
MGB had a 4 cyl 1.8 engine MGB had a straight 6 2.9 engine
From what I have heard, the M-Roadster was designed to be used with BMW synthetic oil which is a re-branded bottle of Mobil1. Conventional oil would work, but it may lead to future engine problems. I would recommend 20w-50.
All MGB's that have air conditioning had units installed as dealer-installed options. So, no MGB's came from the factory with A/C.
Under the hood in front by the radiator.
MGB in retail refers to Main Grocery Buyers. Also referred to as mass market MGBs.
Nope. Drive it for 3,000 miles and then change it for the oil you prefer.
Singer Roadster was created in 1939.
