Engine oil and ATF are designed to work best at around 200 degrees
F; as the temp rises these products degrade at an exponential rate and need
to be changed more often.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Best Dino Oil for 260/289/302?
I do not use Castrol 30 or 40W now as I went to their synthetic oil a
couple years back. But I used it in my first two Tigers, which covered from
1972 thru 1984 if memory serves. I always liked the product, for what that
is worth. It is easy to see when it needs changing, no matter the mileage. I
strongly believe that changing your oil regularly is the life of an engine,
so if your cars overheats severely, I would change the oil as I believe the
extreme high temps helps to break the oil down. TtT
