[TR] Engine oil

[Jim Henningsen]

Don and others,
Thanks for the note.  I'll go with the valvoline vr1.  I heard the old four cylinders like straight 30.  I'm in Florida, any recommendations between 30 and 20w50.
Thanks,
Jim

I have been using regular oil with a zddp additive but his article said the extra detergents in the newest oils (last four years) wash that away internally so it is not as effective.
