anyway but no doubt other people have their fav lube oil
too.

Rick,
If
it's only used on the street and the occasional trip in the country and it's
a bog stock to medium warm L20B and/or it's a high mileage unit with worn
valve guides but good seals then in my humble opinion you can't go past
Castrol GTX (i.e. the original blend). GTX2, Valvoline XLD etc are OK but
they thin out and break down in the second half of the change cycle. GTX
will stay good up till around 80% cycle in a warn L series engine. If some
of my conditions don't apply eg you hill climb or autox etc then you're
looking at a different grade and quality of oil, probably a single
grade would be more suitable eg Penrite 30. Synthetic oils are all
that suitable for the L series, although some ppl have good results from
Shell Helix.
Heath mentioned BP Coarse + - good oil that and also very suitable
for the L20B, in fact it's one of the few "petrol vending company" type oil
products I've ever used in 30+ years of motoring that's done the job to my
satisfaction.
I
just put a 910 Bluebird Series 1 & 2 L20B thru the Shell oil selector
and this what came back:
