This table covers the engine oils listed by grade and specification for this engine. Typical signs include a low-oil lamp, knocking after a long interval, or oil that has gone thin and black well before the next service. Match the viscosity and spec in the notes (and on the filler cap). The tables group grades — they are not interchangeable.

What oil viscosity is listed for the 2003 Morgan Plus 8?

What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
