Re: Oil Weight for 1951 288 that had rebuild 20-25 years ago

It has a oil filter canister now but not when rebuilt.

I drive it every day. I've driven it 530 miles since I got it back from the transmission shop on 18 July.

No sales person has been involved in the oil selection discussions. I am inclined to follow the advise from the local "old school" engine mechanics in the shop that specializes in classic and antique cars. That's where I got the 10W30 from.


I just now found out that the machine shop that rebuilt the motor is still in business but at another local location. I'll see them tomorrow.
