Re: Oil and Filter
It isn't so much what Oil you use,as long as you change it frequently.
For near 20 years,I run 5W-30,whatever is on sale. On the filter,I make my own period correct P-25. I buy the same size federated oil generic Black Oil filters for a buck,then I made a stencil of the NOS red/white/blue AC colored logo one. After spraying the filter white,I lay my two stencils over it and hit it with red,then blue. Looks fabulous & after 6 months I throw it all away anyway.

Re: Oil and Filter
I've done the repaint and stencil/stamp thing too. Even sought out a 'correct' off-white, semi flat paint to use, but I just don't have the time to mess with it anymore. For $20 a pop, I'll stick with the AC's from Greenwood.
For oil; I've been with Valvoline since I bought my new '68 Chevelle. Never a problem and no reason to switch!

Re: Oil and Filter
