And the W (as in 10w 40 for example) doesn't stand for 'weight' the W stands for 'Winter'

smooth steels - Lucas/TRW, made in Germany - bought on ebay.uk for about £40 (set of six) about a year ago ... why these work better for me is a mystery, so best try all other suggestions before shelling out for new plates that may not improve things for you.

That's right. Alexander Duckham were the first UK oil blenders to produce a multigrade oil which meant there was no longer any need to use one oil weight for summer and another for winter. The 20w50 signified the oil would maintain a viscocity sufficient to provide engine protection for both summer and winter temperatures. Its introduction also reduced the constant need for engine decokes due to the use of various additives. A blue/green hue to oils signifies high quality and that is why Duckams used a green dye in their multigrade.
