Re: engine oil ´62 fury

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oil is a personal preference. I do think the evidence is clear that old pushrod engines require different oil qualities than contemporary overhead cam engines. I don't know what service grade rating or blend is in that oil sold on your side of the ocean. Look into that before you use it; or use zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P)  found in the anti-wear additive ZDDP. 

Gotta keep that hungry wounded polar bear 360 oiled up! Congratulations on getting it running.

Thanks,
Gary H.
