I have an original 1965 Chevelle with 26,000 miles. Should I just use a conventional motor oil?

Do I have to be concerned about old seals that newer synthetics could get past...
No it's mostly nonsense. If it was already leaking it's gonna keep leaking, if it wasn't then it won't. And a lot of synthetics don't clean that well, they won't quickly remove sludge in the pan like many think.
Yes please post pictures!
I think we're being trolled. For someone with a 58 year old car that has just 26K miles sounds a bit suspect. Coupled with such a "generic" first question and generic first reply....
To the OP; how about a picture of your Chevelle, its history, and at least some kind of introduction of yourself. Three of four decent sized paragraphs and a half dozen pictures would be a good start.

I'm not sure he's trolling. The trolls typically start off with something inflammatory first thing.
Yeah their classic gtx 20w-50. But I'd rather use something like Delvac extreme instead.

That's better (the pics). How about some words.

The red is perfect.
As to your question, most synthetic oils these days are majority Group III base stocks anyway which is chemically similar to a “conventional” oil but better. Higher viscosity index and lower saturates and sulfur compounds (contaminates).

Let's keep the tone down.
It was my dad's car. He bought the car brand new 6-5-1965 in Iowa. I lost my dad in March of 2021
Definitely not a Z16 lol
