It's that time of year again to do a complete fluid change and check valve lash on my 1966 170/6 :coffee2:
I am getting close to 70k miles and all is still great on my early 170/6 and I want to keep things that way, so here is my question :sign3:
What oil for a daily driver here in Arkansas should I run in my solid lift /6
I have been running the old stand by that farmers use Rotella 30WT.
I am thinking a 10 W 30 for this fall and winter but I see so many new oils out there. I don't know what additives I should be using if any ?
If you was in my shoes what oil would you use with this original 66 /6 ?
And would you use an additive in the oil ? and where to get it ?
Should I be using an additive in my gas ? what produced do you recommend ?

if there is a thread on this already please post it up if you can :blob:

Thank all the great tech's here once again, it's time to do the norm and service Victoria repack wheel bearings and change trans fluid in my 3 speed standard for another long fall and winter :hello2:

10W30 is fine ALL year long here. What ever flavor (Brand) you want or like. Use GM EOS for your additive about 2 OZ per oil change. This will keep your cam and valve train happy. EOS is available at your local GM dealer (last I bought was about 15 a quart).
Your Buddy,
Frank
