It's been about 10-20 years since I've run my Triumph and I did so after
the engine had just been rebuilt.  I know it makes people cringe, but
that's just the way it is.
Im hoping to start it today.  There's no oil in it and I'm about ready to
go to Autozone for some more.  ISTO REmember that a good grade of 20w50 is
probly what I want to aim for,but, I wonder if 10w30 might be better for a
dry engine.  If you want me to start with a thinner oil and after 10
minutes of run time, change out to 20w50 I can do that to.  Maybe a cdhange
of oil filter is advisable too.
