Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing morgan oilfilter + oil/grease info

Just busy to give the Morgan a service, but do not have a service manual... found 6 grease niples front underneath, 1 on cardan axle rear and 2 more niples on pedal axle--totals 9.
Spin-on oil filter= Motaquip VFL 101-what other number is from other make compatible ? What is recommended oil thickness? will 15/40 multigrade ok?.. what else to grease or verify ? what kind of oil in gearbox /rear bridge ? oil cap motor.
Tires= 165SR front and rear 165R is 1.3 kg/bar ok ?...
fyi Morgan 1.6 4/4 4/1978 2 seater. thanks in advance..

Here the greasing scheme I applied on my former 4/4 (1991):
-sliding axles (imperative and very important if you want to obtain a high mileage on your king pins): every 2500 kms (pump grease till the old grease is being pressed out and carefully wipe the whole area free of old and new grease)
-steering joints: every 2500 kms (carefully do not overfill and harm the rubber protective sealing)
-damper blades( the horizontal steel blades between the sliding axle and the chassis): every 2500 kms clean and apply grease where they enter the chassis above and under
-one shot oiling system (plunger inside above the pedal assembly): I used it the first 10000 kms, then never used it since; this oiling system is abandoned by the factory
-pedal axle: every 10000-15000 kms
-cardan axle: every 10000-15000 kms
-rear axle: every 20000-25000 kms (hypoid oil!)
-engine oil (15W40) and filter (Ford CVH): every 5000 kms
-gearbox: no oil change (did 86000 kms in total)
-handbrake assembly mounted on the rear axle and drum brakes: once a year cleaning and greasing
-wire wheels: once a year removal and thorough cleaning, greasing the splines

The rest of the DIY service: plugs and air filter (20000kms); service-free electronic ignition.
Keep the engine bay and the whole front suspension clean; it's nicer to look at and easier to work on.

@dherdebart Many thanks for your complete info...some things maybe different on my (older model) Morgan 4/78... i noticed 2 greasenipples on pedal system...and only one 1 on the rear of cardan axle...
re: copy "damper blades( the horizontal steel blades between the sliding axle and the chassis): every 2500 kms clean and apply grease where they enter the chassis above and under" end copy.

Oops..forgot this one, is there a nipple to grease or is it just puttinge grease on upper and uderside of the blade..?

However many thanks already for your info... unlike the other forums i am on from my other cars there seems to be on this morgan forum not so many DIY owners....

Thks Herman..

wants to buy: a luggage rack for 2 str 4/78 normal bumper, prefer sidescreen holds.

Hello Herman,
-About the greasing of the damper blades: after cleaning just apply a firm "line" of grease on the blade (upper and lower side);
-About the tyre pressure: 1.3 bar is quite low, but provides a softer ride ( part of the Morgan suspension is due to the low inflation of the tyres); the factory puts 1.6 bar; I usually inflate the tyres to 1.8 bar, especially for longer motorway runs at high speed giving a better roadholding and a longer tyre life.
Greetings
