Most popular is Rotella 10w 40 Diesel oil. It has the high zinc you need for your flat tappet engine. Regular car oil has had all the zinc regulated down too far. If you have hard starts you can use 5w 30 (IIRC, it's in a purple bottle) instead.

Re: Help
Best article I have seen for reasons to use only oil with high zinc levels for classic cars, which are not good for modern vehicle catalytic converters.
https://www.hagerty.com/articles-vid...07/Classic-Oil Also seems the Indiana Region of the Classic Car Club has helped production of a special blend of high zinc oil. http://www.classiccarmotoroil.com/ Most modern oil levels of zinc (zddp) are now near 800 ppm, due to concerns with catalytic converters. However, classic engines need zddp at levels higher levels.Test results for zddp level on oils indicated below: Brad Penn Grade-1 oil "Greenie" 1500ppm zddp Classic Car Motor Oil 1500ppm zddp Castrol Edge 5w-50 syn 1300ppm zddp Kendal GT Platinum 20w-50 1200ppm zddp Valvoline VR1 Race Oil avail in std dino and full syn has 1400ppm zddp Chevron Delo std dino 15w-40 1300ppm zddp Shell rotella 5w-40 syn diesel oil 1300ppm Mobil-1 Nascar approved 15w-50 syn 1300ppm zddp So, I order and use the Brad Penn, but will now look for other local options.

Re: Help
Brad Penn easily ordered thru Amazon by quart or case. Classic Car Motor oil only ordered from their web site. With shipping figure $7 per quart at case price for either. High zinc and competitive price to off shelf cost for others. Shell Rotella most cost effective if you need oil now... Keep high zinc level in your classics.
