Some of you guy here local(L.A. area) may be familare with Leon the "Motorman" on KABC every Sunday...That guy has forgotten more car stuff that I'll ever know..I called one time and asked him about the oil for the A,,,,I know I"ll get some "Scream's" but he said use what Ford called for "40W"... He was a consultant for Quaker State oil year's ago...You can hear him on line at Kabc.com every Sunday 7am to 10 Pacific coast time He alway say's on his show, agree or disagree give me a call.. I'ed like to hear somebody on Fordbarn call in !!!...his # is 1-800 222-5222... Ok,,waiting for "answer's" !! Greg way out West, |

Re: Oil, straight vs. multi ?
See the link below as it may help answer the question.
Talk about oil viscosity What is also important is properly protecting the engine from nasty chemicals that will form. This is done with additives to prevent nasty chemical build up. |

Yes I use Castrol 20-40 synthetic and change it once a year in the fall so I have new oil for winter storage. Gord B by the Bay
