1972 dodge dart with oil light flicking

Godfatherofchry:
and if it was mine I would use a thicker oil like straight 30wt.


This makes no sense, always use multi viscosity oil. That first number is viscosity of oil when cold, second number is viscosity when hot. Straight weight oil will not lubricate, disperse, or build pressure as fast as multi grade causing starter to labor excessively, and rotating components to be starved of lubrication during cold weather starts.
