Bill,
If you stick to good old Castrol 20W-50 you usually can't go wrong. I've heard
that it still has the zinc our older style engines require.
Also Redline Synthetic oil will work well as long as your car is not a serious
leaker (at $8+ per quart it can get pricey to just leak out!

Subject: Re: [Bmcu] TR3 Oil
OK, I will admit to being a little out of the loop...it's been a while.
Just getting the '58 TR3A on the road, it has been sitting for 5 years with
fresh oil and I want to change it now that I have started and driven it
about 20-30 miles. The original manual calls for SAE-30 @ 40-70 degrees
and
SAE-40 @ 70+. Fifty years ago there were not all these multi-grade oils
available and I was wondering if a 10w-40w or some other combination is a
better choice these days.
I would appreciate to know what you all use for general use on the road and
around town, not competition.
Thanks,
BillB
