Rotella SAE 40 in the 70's. It was free from the Diesel shop I worked at.
That’s a fine car. Always liked Ramblers. I haven’t saw a 2dr wagon but this one is sweetStraight gear oil in my 1960 Rambler American wagon just before pulling the engine and replacing it with one from a wrecking yard. As you might imagine, the engine was toast, and the gear oil helped get it to the shop where I had use of a lift.

I have very fond memories of that car. Traveled all over California with it and slept in the back when I camped. It never let me down. I had the old Flathead six engine with about 90 horsepower and a three-speed column shift transmission.That’s a fine car. Always liked Ramblers. I haven’t saw a 2dr wagon but this one is sweet
d see a 68’ Rambler 2dr post over summer at car show.I have very fond memories of that car. Traveled all over California with it and slept in the back when I camped. It never let me down. I had the old Flathead six engine with about 90 horsepower and a three-speed column shift transmission.
Sure it does - you just have to be prepared.I’ve had two vehicles lock up and not start close to -30C with 10W-30 oil in them; including M1 EP 10W-30. These vehicles both had good batteries in them.
That’s why I think people who say ‘I’ve started a car at -40 with 10W-40 in it’ are exaggerating about the temperature - 10W DOES NOT work below -25C.
The first car I ever heard about making >100k in its first year, supposedly without major problems, was a 1960 American. Same block, bore, and stroke as AMC's OHV I-6 engine, for which they claimed significantly more power.I have very fond memories of that car [1960 Rambler American flat-head].

Not sure where he gets his, but oil from his signature is available on Amazon.Where do you get 0w-10 oil?
