Re: IML: Best oil for 100K mi. '59 413

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 order
 to not do further damage I will probably use a non-detergent oil which
is 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 and
cause 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.
