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! |

I like the old rule "run the thinnest oil that gives you good pressure". I get 50 pounds at 2500 rpm running 5w40 hot and 15 pounds at idle hot. When it's less hot (not ripping through the hills or extended 70 mph on the highway) I get 20 at idle and 55-60 above 2500. More than enough pressure, I could probably go to 30 if I wanted more flow, but I think 40 is a good compromise and it is air-cooled and all
