<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>

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>
