Hey everyone: The BB is getting it's first oil change since it arrived. I'm thinking a good organic oil would be appropriate for this vintage motor with 121K on the clock.
The service records I have are not specific about what has been put in before. I use Syn in every other car but I think it might be overkill and make it leak even more. This should be fun! |

And prepare yourself for an onslaught of oil opinions. The distilled consensus from the engine gurus is that if you change your oil annually or at regular, reasonable mileage intervals, it doesn't really matter which brand you use, as long as the oil has generous ZDDP levels. I personally like VR1 for the reasons mentioned above. I also use the Joe Gibbs Driven DT50, which was developed specifically for air cooled engines. Mostly because I won a case of it at the NE gathering (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
