Eddie,
With my 1600/U20, I run:
1. Engine: Castrol 20W50 in the summer, and, when I drove the car during
cold weather, 10W50. Cranks and starts fine with a factory starter;
maintains good oil pressure when hot. With 10W50 in the crankcase, the car
would start reliably at 10-15 below (F). (I left it outside one night to
make sure, because I didn't want to get stranded at work. Back then,
1977-1979, it was my go-to-work car.)
2. Trans/Differential: 80W90 gear oil. (Also in steering box.)
You'll get lot's of opinions on this one, probably none more right or wrong
than another.
Gary
