Suitable Oils for Our Triumphs  - flat tappet (lifter) engines

From the folks at Castrol:

"This question is coming up more and more,  Anyhow, engines such as this that use flat tappets could be sensitive to reduced levels of Phosphorous in oil formulations, it appears that 0.1% is about the cut off point, so oils for flat tappets should contain .1%.  Phos has been steadily going down as the amount of ZDDP has been reduced to ensure compatibility with exhaust after treatment From our range the following are higher than 0.1%
