    Medina, a 1971 T-code Monaco

    To begin Medina's maintenance schedule an oil change w/ Penn Grade 15w40 an a Wix Oil filter was done. A front suspension inspection no worn parts so a quick lube of all zerk fittings brought this phase to a close

    Average 750 miles per year. What's the least expensive oil and filter to use for 1970 440?

    Good price on Penn Grade! I've never seen a Wix made in any part of China, though the last Crapa Gold I bought was. I like the Ford FL-1A as my Plan B filterm and have used them. While I don't quibble on the cost effectiveness of good oil changing, as an old junkie w 4 young females to feed...

    Is my new build doomed because I bought a flat tappet?

    Also use a good quality break in oil like Brad Penn/ Penn Grade or Driven by Joe Gibs, 30 weight break in. Make sure all is ready for starting right away. If the car was running well before engine removed use all the old stuff to restart the fresh engine. Carb, ignition etc, all must be known to...

    Average 750 miles per year. What's the least expensive oil and filter to use for 1970 440?

    For me, it's twice a year. I drive my 66 Newport daily, about 5,000 miles a year. This is MY idea of "Fahrvergnügen"!! Living in CT, it's fairly economical to run. I OWN it, no payment, Insurance is $220 annually, Personal Property tax is $16 a year. This offsets the 10 MPG....a little! But, I...

    318 rebuild

    Use a quality break in oil or you will wipe out the cam. Joe Gibbs Driven, Brad Penn/Penn Grade there are others also. We did a cam a month ago in a 69 Camaro with 15w40 and zinc additive, it wiped a lobe just after break in.

    Valve cover smoke after switching to synthetic oil

    Exactly what oil is in the car? My Brad Penn (now Penn Grade) oil is a semi-synthetic with a high amount of zinc and phosphorus. IMHO and based on reading a bit on the subject.... First, a lot of the oils aimed at the old car, flat tappet market are synthetic or semi-synthetic. Some are...

    Average 750 miles per year. What's the least expensive oil and filter to use for 1970 440?

    ...came with and not the short filter that they started having to use on small block A bodies. Longer filter = more filter area. I use Penn Grade high zinc green oil at ~$40 for a 5 quart bottle from Amazon. So, $46 for an oil change for me using a good filter and good oil. Is that really...

    New guy looking for advice

    ...U-j=oints will need changing if they haven't been recently. You will need to remember to buy engine oil with Zinc for classic cars, Lucas, Penn Grade, Castrol GTX Classic etc.. Look over the electrical, check all the switches and lights etc.. Plenty more to list on owning a classic, but you...

    Fluids? Engine Oil, Transmission Fluid, Brake Fluid etc…

    It’s still just as green as it was before.

    New guy looking for advice

    Yeah, thanks. There is another '76 New Yorker pretty similar to it that I like a bit more. It's $2,000 more expensive, which might be a deal-breaker, but it has 20,000 less miles, doesn't have all those replacement parts, and is painted in the infamous Golden Fawn (yes, I actually like the...

    New oil leak on my fury

    ...Rod Muscle car oil. I am not saying to use Lucas exclusively, just saying this is the type of oil you need for old flat tappet cam engines. I use Lucas in clients cars as it is pretty easy to purchase up here. For my personal cars and clients that want it I have Brad Penn/Penn grade high zinc...

    Fluids? Engine Oil, Transmission Fluid, Brake Fluid etc…

    Gibbs GP-1 uses the same American Refining Grps additive package Brad Penn originally used. There's some conflicting info on whether Penn Grade uses the same formula anymore. I haven't used Penn Grade but the Gibbs is green like the Brad Penn was.

    Oh crap, I just changed my oil with a low-zinc oil, what should I do?

    Or. . . Go to Summit Racing and order six quarts of high zinc Penn Grade 15W-40 and a WIX oil filter (same as NAPA Gold). This is the oil I run in my '66 300 TNT. PennGrade 1 71586 PennGrade 1 Partial Synthetic Blend High Performance Motor Oil | Summit Racing 1966 CHRYSLER 300 Wix...

    Brad Penn is now known as Penn Grade and that’s what I use in my classics. I order it though summit but it is also on the shelf at my Auto Value parts store. 30 weight would be what you want. My trans guy tells me ATF+4 and that I shouldn’t be picky about brands. I use dot 5 brake fluid as long...
