Hi Matt,I have my father's 1964 imperial lebaron chrysler; original miles is 43,214. The owners manual recommends the following engine oil grades:
Multigrades: SAE 10W-30 .....Suitable year-around for most parts of the U.S., may be used as low as -10 F. SAE 5W-20 .....Recommended if temperatures are consistently below 10 degrees F.
Single Grade: SAE 30 .............When temperatures are consistently above 32 degrees F. SAE 10W ......... When temperature ranges average between 32 and -10 F.
Hope this info helps. Frank----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Gill" <mgill3@xxxxxxx>

Just curious, I wonder if anybody here could take a look at their owners manual and let me know what Chrysler corp recommended when it came to the type of oil to put in the car.. brand and which type. I don't know if they ever changed, but specifically '64 through '66.I'd just like to know out of curiosity, and to see if that particular brand also sells a lead additive, to see how much it would cost. I'm somewhat of a purist so I'd probably use whatever Chrysler wanted the buyer to use.And, I'm sure synthetic is not REQUIRED, but would that be better oil to use? Any advantage? I know it's designed for sports cars, but if it would run smoother and/or make the engine last longer etc, I'd use it for sure.Thanks -Matt ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com -----------------This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
