Use the same oil for my 2056. Supposed to be high ZZDP or ZDDP or ZDZP or something like that....

Still working through my supply of Brad Penn 20W-50, which is now marketed as https://penngrade1.com/products/high-performance-oils/.

Edit: This is for a carbureted 2056.

I use Valvoline VR1 in everything. It is great with the older engines that need the high zinc content. And unlike Brad Penn or Driven, I can find it at FLAPS anywhere.


And Andy.. my motor is not stock either...

I trusted my mechanic to rebuild my 3.0 motor. I follow his recommendation for what oil to use.

I would go for 20W50. Brand is something you have your own preference for or just use the opinions of the other members here. I use a Dutch Brand called Kroon, so I cannot recommend any specific brand in NE USA.
