Re: {Chrysler 300} Best oil for '61 413

["'dave mason' via Chrysler 300 Club International" <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

VR-1 also is available in 10W-30 which I used to use.  Have since switched to Driven brand high zinc antique car oil 10W-30.  

Grady is a big fan of the Mobil1 that Danny mentions.

Just got back north for the spring/summer/fall and want to change the oil in my G.  However time has a hold on me and I can't recall what oil viscosity to use (normal outside temp I run is 55-90 degrees), and regular or synthetic.

 

I promise to write it down this time!....thanks...John
