Silkolene Chatsworth 40 is manufactured from a blend of selected high quality base oils and additives, CHATSWORTH monograde engine oils are designed to provide detergent / dispersant properties and engine performance to exceed the requirements of U.S. Military MIL-L-2104B, API SD/CC, and Ford M2C-101B specifications.
Oils of this type were in common use circa 1950 - 60. They can be used with advantage in almost all motorcycles, cars and classic commercials made in this period. Earlier vehicles also benefit, with much improved engine cleanliness and reduced wear.
