Hi Everyone, I need some help. My grandfather wants to know if he is using a proper oil for his mint 1970 Ford Galaxy. It has an original big block and the car only has 49,000 miles!(I think it's a 390 but there is a chance it's a 410)He really never paid any attention to what oil he uses except not to use anything synthetic. Luckily, with BITOG help he is now broke of that in his other vehicles. The last oil he bought for his old cars (55 Chevy with 265 and this Ford Galaxy) was Pennzoil 10w-30 High mileage. I looked on the back of this oil and noticed it is sm rated! I told him I don't think It has enough zinc in it to properly protect this engine and he should use an oil such as Rotella T. Also, he is now on a limited income and because of health problems can't afford the best out there. I need help finding something as cheap as possible that is going to give these cars decent protection. He changes the oil in them every 6 months, usually with less than 500 miles on the oil with a purolator classic oil filter. He only drives these cars to car shows. What does everyone here think? I thank you for your time!
