Castrol Classic Xxl40 Engine Oil 4.54 Litre (1926A)

Description

Genuine Castrol Classic · Part no. 1926A

Castrol Classic XXL40 is a single-grade SAE 40 oil for the engines and gearboxes of cars built before 1950 and motorcycles built before 1970. Its additives are chosen to stop varnish forming when the engine runs cool, and it comes in a 4.54 litre can, about one imperial gallon.

Good to know

• Is it right for my car or bike? Use it where the handbook or period lubrication chart asks for an SAE 40 monograde; Castrol aim it at cars before 1950 and motorcycles before 1970.
• Can it go in the gearbox as well? Yes, it is made as an engine and gearbox oil, for older gearboxes whose handbook asks for engine oil of this weight.
• Will it suit a modern engine? No. A modern engine needs the multigrade and approval code its own handbook names, and this is a single-grade oil for old engines.

Which one?

For the thinner SAE 30 grade, the Castrol Classic XL30 (1924A) in the same 4.54 litre can. For a multigrade classic oil, the Comma Classic 20W-50 (CLA20505L) or the Castrol Classic GTX 10W/40 (1928G).
