Terry, I use Valvoline 20W50 racing oil in mine, as recommended by both Ken
Gillanders (British Frame and Engine) and Herman van den Akker (HVDA
Enterprises) who rebuilt my overdrive. I believe straight 50 weight would
also be fine if you live in a warm climate (it was recommended by the
factory for temps over 70F), but the multi-weight oil gives easier shifts
when cold, IMO.
When my daughter was 9, we had "Daddy's flashlight" which was kept up high
and in a very obvious place; she was not allowed to even touch it. Then we
had "her" flashlight and several others scattered around the house that she
was allowed to use. It helped, although not as much as I'd hoped ... <G>
