If its just for an emergency to get you home, then it really doesn't matter
that much, even if adding synthetic to non-synthetic Go for the oil with
the highest 2nd number. In other words 5W-30 rather than 5W-20. Oil for
diesels has much more detergent.

Then do a full oil change =E2=80=A6.after consulting all the previous reams=
 of
comments about 'which oil should I use'. ;)

FWIW i now use Mobil 1 fully synthetic 5W-60.

Many owners in the UK are happy with Halfords Classic. It comes in the old
fashion metal cans.

Best regards

Don't know if you can get it over there, but Valvoline Racing 20W-50 
claims to have the necessary Z/P additives.   This stuff looks good: 
*http://tinyurl.com/hy4p7hw*, but I haven't tried it.

BTW, talked to the engine rebuilder the other day and he said the cam 
and lifters were very worn (he said the lifters were 'cup-shaped').  
This is discouraging as I've maintained this engine well with oil 
changes--20W-50--at least once/year or 4-5K (mostly highway) miles.  
There wasn't any sludge or residue to speak of.  The one thing I didn't 
do was follow a break-in procedure, as I wasn't aware of the need for it 
when we last rebuild the engine (almost 30 years ago).  I used: Castrol, 
Chevron and Valvoline oils.
