This is a customer's project car that he wants to restore. We were assigned the task of getting it running before he dumps any real money into it. It turns over fairly easily, just needs a fuel pump (that was a nightmare to find, ended up using an MSD pump for an LS engine). I know domestic and Asian oil choices, but I'll admit I'm way out of my league regarding European vehicles. The customer wants an oil change once it can reliably start. Based on some quick research, I believe this thing holds 7.9 quarts, and I'm wildly guessing it takes a Euro XW-40 oil...? Is there anything that would satisfy this old engine while not breaking the bank? Does it HAVE TO be a European oil, or can I use a typical XW-40 (for example NAPA's $2.29/quart conventional oil starting in May)? I also assume NAPA's ProSelect 21398 filter will fit?
Sorry if the questions are ignorant, but that's exactly what I am regarding European vehicles...
Thanks for any advice!
