Quality accross the range
This is a top-quality product and is probably better than many competitors. The small Shropshire based producer has been one of the best for many years. It has a product list that covers many types including steam oil, R type of racing oil. First press Castor which is better than many of the few other producers of this type of oil. Morris is a very valuable producer of the type of oils which we need.
Thank you all and do keep safe in these difficult times.

Best oil for classic engines
I am most impressed by Golden film 20/50. Using it for over a year in my old Landrover S11A. The engine starts easier, runs quieter and more responsive. Previously I have used quite expensive top brands that are not as good as this. So its great value. I have no reason to use anything else.Read full review...

High quality, old fashioned Mineral OIl meeting today's extreme standards issues
Had an issue with a noisy hydraulic valve lifter on my 1972 Ford E100 Econoline Van running a 302ci V8 engine. The previous owner had used a fully synthetic oil perfect for modern engines but these old V8's need a heavier mineral oil,. what had happened was that the oil being so thin in comparison to a fully synthetic it just burned away like extra fuel. A drain, filter change, and re-fill with Golden Film and the lifter issue is all but gone haven't been out in it yet on a road run but so much quieter than before. may not even need to do any spanner work on it. Have used this oil for years and always dependable results, The amber liquid ,reminiscent to my favourite tipple exhudes quality, looking like real oils from the past. Been an Engineer all my life and always been surrounded by oils of some sort, so sort of anoracle on the stuff. I will definitely buy again, great value, from this supplierRead full review...

Morris Oils
Morris oil is not a household name as it is not stocked by many garages or car parts retail outlets. However, it has been in existence since 1869. Based in Shrewsbury it is a most impressive operation and I was lucky enough to be part of a guided tour around the factory a few years ago.
Up to that point, although I had heard of Morris oils I considered them to be a basic middle of the range product for older vehicles. I only use top quality oils in my vehicles and had never considered using any Morris product in my car. However, all that changed after my factory visit.
This firm works closely with some of the most prestigious marques in the country and their care and attention to quality control was very impressive. I also had no idea that they make oil for one of the biggest names in the business, though it is a fact that they do not readily admit to.
Recently I needed some oil for a classic car automatic gear box and had great difficulty sourcing it, until advised that Morris make, it as they supply it to a major manufacturer that uses the sam product.
Excellent product, excellent firm and I now use it regularly with absolute confidence..Read full review...

Classic car oil of the best quality
Owning an older car presents different challenges not met by todays oils and what our older vehicles need is oil that doesn't wash away easily but stays as a film on the metal and other components hence why we have to buy "classic" oils to enable prime lubrication.
I have tried this out in my 850cc all alloy Reliant engine and since filling, the car starts a lot quieter, OHV clacking is also quieter and it just seems a little more fiesty than with standard 20w50 stuff.
So yes I would recommend this oil, its quality is very good in my opinion.Read full review...

MORRIS Golden Film 20/50 used in restoration of a classic FERRARI
For years I've used this oil in my 1978 DUCATI 900SS Desmo with excellent results and I was amazed to see recently on CAR SOS this oil being used in the restoration of a classic 1970's FERRARI DINO - you could clearly see Fuzz pouring the oil into the engine from a Morris container !
My DUCATI has a wet clutch and modern synthetic oils would cause clutch-slip.
Well done MORRIS !!Read full review...

Perfect for Aircooled BMW motorcycles
Engines designed 40 or 50 years ago where developed in conjunction with the oils of the time, so don’t take kindly to modern oils. Morris have got it right with this oil especially for any OHV engine with flat tappet blocks. There is definitely a reduction in valve gear noise hot and cold, and good overall performance and oil pressure.Read full review...
Golden Film
Engine oil for classic vehicles is a matter of personal opinion. I want a low spec. but high quality low detergent oil of as close a spec. to that originally recommended. I’ve used this oil for years and am totally satisfied with it for 1950s motorcycles.Read full review...

Ideal for this application
Ideal oil formula for my very old boat engine This oil is more suited to old-fashioned bearings as synthetic is not compatibleWith these old components

good value correct spec
Filled up my Classic VW Beetle with this. Wrestled over filling with Sae 30 or the Sae 20/50 decided this was better for all round use.
Ideal for classics without a modern spin on filter as its allows particles and soot to sink to the base of the sump and out of circulation.Read full review...
