<p>A bunch of years ago I restored an LBC for a guy...original owner
from the early 70's, wanted to rebuild the car as a retirement
gift to himself and his wife...apparent very fond memories.</p>
<p>Long story short.... 110K+ miles on the odo.... when I pulled the
oil cap for a first look, the valves, rockers, pedestals, all were
different colors...looked nearly new! The engine had never been
touched, let alone that the car had sat for the last 15 years
outdoors in the weather.? First tests, the engine still had great
and even compression.? He'd been running Mobil 1 since the very
first oil change in 1971.?? It made a believer out of me. I've
been running Mobil 1 20-50 in all my LBC's ever since... perhaps
110K+ miles cumulative now, without single issue.</p>
<p>Plus...you can buy 4 (5?) quart big jugs at Walmart for well
under $30</p>

I wouldn't advise using VR-1 Racing oil in our LBC's. While it
does have some zinc, it's designed for racing engines that are
torn down on a regular basis. My oil of choice is Penn Grade
(used to be Brad Penn) 20W50 partially synthetic. You can get it
from Amazon or TRF for around $8 per quart. Sure it's more
expensive, but still a lot cheaper than a spun bearing or
flattened cam!</div>
