Lol. I loved that show

...careful to follow directions from factory and aftermarket mfrs. Motor sounds great! Certainly want it to stay that way. Will run Lucas, Penn Grade, or Joe Gibbs high ZDDP, non API, low detergent after 500 miles. Hughes recs staying with 10W30 like the break in oil, but a lot of people...

Very helpful as I need oil and filter for my '71 Monaco's first oil change under new ownership. She has 76k miles on its original T-code engine. Rip, any reason why you're considering switching from 20w-50 to 15w-40? Gentlemen, to be clear: 1. are you referring to this semi-synthetic Brad...

Yes, Brad Penn is now Penn Grade and that is the oil that I and others recommend. I suggest buying it by the case off eBay or on Amazon. If your engine is a bit tired and uses some oil, or if you live in a very hot climate you might want to consider the 20W-50. I use the NAPA Gold 1515 oil...

I've been using the Penn Grade (used to be Brad Penn, but the name got changed) 20W-50 oil in my '66 300 for the last couple of years. Before that, the cars I had used roller hydraulic cams, so there was no issue regarding cam wear. I am currently breaking in a new 440 engine in my other '66...

How long have you been using brad penn oil? I always heard that they were no good. My highschool science teacher told me about castrol gtx. He mixed it with stp zinc additive. And he had a car from the 70's that he bought new that has lasted almost 400,000 miles and might still be running. And...

...toss up Wix makes very good filters but good damn they are proud ($$$$$) of them. Hastings and Baldwin are a little more reasonable. I use Penn Grade 20w50 racing oil I don't use high volume oil pumps unless I'm using full groove mains and going over 6500 rpm. I do put a lock washer in behind...

...and buy a NAPA Gold filter (actually made by WIX). Also, you can go to Summit.com and order six quarts of high zinc content Brad Penn / Penn Grade 15W-40 or 20W-50 oil (they also sell WIX filters). You should not use today's conventional oils in your flat tappet cam engine. Without the...

Michel: Yes. The Penn Grade 15W-40 semi synthetic is the oil I am thinking of. I feel it may flow a little better at start-up than the 20W-50. Also, the WIX filter Bill mentions above is the one to use, and I usually get the NAPA Gold version. Summit also sells the WIX brand, and its the...

...have heard about quality issues with some of the items that they sell that are made overseas such as big block aluminum water pump housings. On oil, one choice IMHO. Penn Grade, formally Brad Penn oil. A synthetic blend designed for both our original engines and for modified or stroked...

...to FCBO. Your Newport is very nice. As regards oil, if I was you I would definitely run a high zinc oil in that car. Something like Penn Grade 10W40. You can order it from Summit or Jegs, and it is available in a "kit" with a high-quality WIX filter. I run the same oil in my '66 300 but...

I know this thread started a while ago, but it is still an ongoing topic to consider. The standards for motor oil have continued to change more and more formulations to less and less antiwear agents (ZDDP...) to meet with federal emission standards. Face it, in the grand scheme of things there...

To answer your question regarding why certain people prefer certain oils, I use Pennzoil because it tends to hold up well in demanding engines. I drive for a living and have owned small fleets of vehicles (all sorts of sizes, makes and models and years), and what I have seen has led me to...

I know better than to depend on the gub'ment. Sadly, most people my age don't give a squat as long as American Idol comes on when it's supposed to. They were programmed back in college. I'm smarter than that. I was a trouble maker at Penn...cost me a grade or two a couple times, but I didn't...

A lot to read here
