Still working through my supply of Brad Penn 20W-50, which is now marketed as PennGrade1.
Edit: This is for a carbureted 2056. |

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.

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. |
