Re: What kind of oil
I have alway used regular valvoline 10w30 or 10w40 in my old cars.Im going to start adding some type of zddp to it though.Stp claims to have zddp in it.If i had to rebuild or put a new cam in one of them i would put braddpenn or something simular just to be safe.

Re: What kind of oil
In my rebuilt engine, I'm using Castrol 5w30 year round.
Everything else gets 10w40 in winter and 20w50 in summer, and usually the cheapest brand I can pick up.

Re: What kind of oil
Chevron 10W-30 for many years (used to find it on sale cheap, and with rebates). Currently using NAPA (Valvoline) 10W-30.

Re: What kind of oil
i pay attention to what a manufacturer reccomends for thier crate motors and if i put things like aftermarket blowers on i look to those manufactureers for recomendations as to what thier products live longer with
