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! |

Simple answer. Valvoline VR1. It is a high Zinc oil that is designed for older motors. There are others out there like Brad Penn, but the Valvoline is available at your FLAPS, and the others are normally only available at specialty stores. So it is easier to find. I suggest 20W50 for a stock air cooled motor. And don't buy a Fram rock stopper air filter. Buy a good one like Wix or Mann. Clay |
