Golden Film Classic Oils are a specialist range of high quality, low detergent/dispersant monograde lubricants. These oils are suitable for use in naturally aspirated four stroke petrol and diesel engines and classic gearbox designs.
Applications:
Golden Film Classic Oils are recommended for use in veteran, classic and vintage cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles and tractors, where engine design and tolerances prohibit the use of modern multigrade, high additive level oils. Modern dispersant additives keep combustion chamber contamination suspended in the lubricant, allowing full flow cartridge filters to remove it. Early oil filtration, usually in the form of a mesh gauze or strainer, is not efficient enough to remove this suspended material. Golden Film Oils are low dispersant oils and allow the suspended matter to drop harmlessly into the sump.
Golden Film Classic Oils also have enhanced anti-foam properties ensuring optimised performance in motorcycle and automotive classic gearbox designs.
Golden Film SAE 40 is an ideal choice for lightly loaded diesel engines used in canal boats, watercraft, older generators (e.g. Lister, Perkins), etc., where they can dramatically reduce the likelihood of bore glazing.
Performance Level: API SD / CC.

How often should I change the oil?
Oil change intervals depend on your vehicle's specific recommendations and usage. Generally, follow the service schedule outlined in your vehicle's manual or consult with a mechanic. However, if your vehicle is used in severe conditions, more frequent oil changes may be necessary.
What does the API SD / CC rating mean?
API SD / CC is a performance rating that indicates the oil meets specific standards for performance and protection in gasoline and diesel engines. This rating confirms the oil's suitability for older engine designs.
Can I mix this oil with other types of oil?
It is generally not recommended to mix different types of oil. If you need to top up your oil, it is best to use the same type of oil. If you are unsure, consult a mechanic.
