1)What would be the best viscosity to use for all around street driving with ocassional drag strip passes? I have no specific engine oil recommendations on this engine as to what oil viscosity ranges would be from minimum to maximum(Safe viscosity?)? I have been told to use 10/30? This engine has the factory stock roller camshaft! The temperature here in Ca, rarely ever goes below 28 degrees(F)!
2)My 450hp/502 engine has around 1,000 miles on it now. If I choose to use an Amsoil 100% synthetic engine oil, what would be the best one to use to give the ultimate in wear protection, having a stable viscosity, lowest volatility etc.? Since my vehicle that this engine is in, is a 1969 chevrolet El Camino, no catalytic convertor is involved(So I don't need the thinner, SM specification oil!). If SAE 5-30(Or, 10-30?)might be recommended over the Euro SAE 5-40 Amsoil-then, please state your reasons for recommending one oil type over another oil type? Please clarify your answers?
3)How would the Euro SAE 5/40 work in this engine?
4)In a Chevron or Havoline Dino oil, which particular of these oils would work the best in my 502/450hp engine? Give the proper label name and your viscosity recommended?
