Simple recipe for Excitement: Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

Consider using a zinc additive on most any oil in the market right now, no matter which "Standard" oil you may choose.
Some say: VR1 has a high zinc content, so that's always nice to know
Castrol GTX 20/50 now has a "Classic" line with high zinc content
Some of the classic "boutique" oils, from all manufacturers, have higher zinc and that's great.
In any case, the oil change cost, especially if you D.I.Y. is a pittance in comparison to engine damage and those very high costs.
Finally, please consider a magnetized oil drain plug and a high quality filter. And change it more often than you might think.
I stand ready with nomex suit / apparel, as this will easily provoke the lubrication engineers among us!! Best, MSH
