From: "webmaster" <stephen844@xxxxxxxx> Subject: IML: What is the best oil to use in a 100,000 mile '59 413 ? I now realize that the problems I have encountered are from changing the oil on my car. I used a 10w-40w detergent oil and it has gummed up the hydraulic lifters on my car, bending push rods etc.After having the heads/valves done the culprit was stuck lifters. In orderto not do further damage I will probably use a non-detergent oil whichis what was probably there in the first place. My concern is that keeping a detergent oil inside will only continue to put the grime back into it andcause further problems. What oil grade should I use for summer driving? This is the only time I use this car.
Wierd, I never had any trouble with detergent oil in my '63 or '62. SAE 30 was probably what they originally specified. -Kle.'69 Crown 4DHT (napping)
