Re: Model A Times Article About Not Using Diesel Oil
I don't use or recommend diesel oil in my A, only in my diesel pickup. Something to consider, zinc was not in oils when the A was new. The A engine has a steel cam and only 40 lbs. of valve spring pressure. Zinc became important when the OHV V8's came into being. The only V8 not having cam-wear trouble was the Buick, because it had a steel cam. Use modern oil to keep your A engine clean and well-lubricated, better than when they were new.
