I have never seen SAE 49 oil - would it be suitable for my '49 G80 ?

It's a slightly thinner oil than SAE 50 Sam, mainly used in oilcans.

You can make your own by
Taking 49Fluid ouces of SAE 50
Adding 1 Fluid ounce of SAE 40.
Do take care when mixing !!!!!!!!!!!!
You must put the SAE 50 in First.

Halfords sell a 20/50 classic oil, it has little or no detergent in it.
