Randy - does the seat adjustment have the threaded shaft attached to it? I broke the pot metal knob on my 39 by sitting on it when I had the front seat out to work on the dash. I can make you a replica of the knob out of brass if you want - that's what I have on my car now.

For oil, I use Shell Rotella, 30 weight in my 39 and 51 cars. If you have the canister type oil filter, Napa does have it, you just have to take the old one in and say "match it". Sometimes the computer doesn't show Packard.
