RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS, FUELS AND FLUID CAPACITIES
~*
RECOMMENDED HYDRAULIC
FLmDS
Clutch and Brake Reservoirs: Castrol Girling Brake and Clutch Fluid - Crimson or Unipart 550 Brake Fluid.
Where
these proprietary brands are not available, other fluids which meet the S.A.E. J.1703 specification may be used.
RECOMMENDED FUEL
The Triumph TR6 engine
is
designed to operate on fuel having
a·
mmimum octane rating
of
97 (High compression engines)
OR
91
(Lower compression engines): this
is
equivalent to the British 4 star and 2 star rating respectively.
Where such fuels are not available and it
is
necessary to
use
fuels
of
lower
or
unknown rating, the ignition timing must
be
retarded from the specified setting, just sufficiently to prevent audible detonation (pinking) under
all
operating conditions,
otherwise damage to the engine may occur.
IMPORTANT:
When
cars for the U.S.A. market enter the "United States" the ignition timing must
be
set to suit the
use
of
the recommended grade
of
fuel
AND
