What was the oil type and grade you ever used?

[53' Stude]

Hello folks and thought of this question as I love history and old stuff. What was the oil brand and grade you used in your first to you vehicle? Mine was a 88' Delta 88 and I used Pennzoil 10w40 with a AC Delco filter

Tech2000 10w30 and an STP all-metal filter from walmart on my 89 mazda 323 in the summer of 1999. 74 cents times four quarts for oil, $1.97 for the filter.

Bought the filter after the Knize family/ Minimopar website cut open a bunch and liked it.

First vehicle was a 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L. I used Supertech 10w30 and a Purolator Classic.

i have been driving 25 years and dont remember , but im sure i used the cheapest thing possible, i had no knowledge of that stuff back then

It was Mobil 10w-30 or 10w-40 (don't remember the grade, but I used to love the color of blue bottles) and I believe a Deutche oil filter from Autozone. This was around '94 when I turned 16.

This was on a 1970 Chevrolet C-10 with a 250 I-6 engine. Also, used the same combination on a 1975 Monte Carlo with a 350 V8.

'64 VW Beetle, used straight 30 Valvoline All-Climate & occasionally 10W40 Valvoline too. No oil filter on that car!

Don't remember the first. But the first I remember was buying Mobil 1 10w-30 for my brand new 1989 Acura Integra.

1991 S-10 with the 2.8 V-6 -
Worked at a GMC dealership - Bulk Kendall 10W-30 and AC Delco PF52

 

[JayhawkRoy]

65 Ford Falcon Wagon. Used Valvoline 10W40 and a Ford Motorcraft filter. Must have been cheap, because my family never had a strong preference for a single oil brand.

Mine was a '73 Vega.
I used (lots of) Citgo 10W-40, which Kmart regularly had on sale in the late seventies for twenty nine cents a quart.
IIRC, I also used Kmart's house brand Motorvator oil filters.
My first good car was a '76 MGB I bought in 1980 for $3500.00 with 18.5K on it and a new top. Still have it.
It also got various brands of 10W-40 and various oil filters on 3K drains.
My first real car bought new was an 86 Civic Wagon.
It got various brands of 10W-40 up to around 90K after which it got various brands of synthetic oil, form 10W-30 through M1 15W-50.
It got mostly Fram orange cans throught the 200K+ miles we owned it.

Chevy. Sinclair bulk 30 weight. What filler?

 

[WankelRotorHead]

1978 VW Rabbit 1.6 liter engine

Got my oil and Filters from GI Joes in 1988

I know the oil was Valvoline, probably 10w-40

Filter was likely Purolator (I know it wasn't a OCOD and GI Joes carried a lot of Purolator product so I'm pretty certain of this).

 

[slug_bug]

1975 Ford Torino elite

400 cu. in. V8

Valvoline 10w-40 and a Fram filter.

 

[guyonearth]

You know, I usually remember useless trivia like that, but I actually have no idea in this case. I suspect it was probably Valvoline, since that was a very common oil in local stores at the time, and I remember buying it many times when I was a teenager.

 

[Cristobal]

It was a 1963 Rambler, and the oil was Pennzoil straight 30 weight, SB grade.

 

[Matinicus]

Kendall 10W-30, Delco oil filter in a 61 Chevy 283 V-8.

 

[Oil Changer]

Wolf's Head 10W-40 with Fram Filter. '73 Plymouth Fury III Grand Sedan 440 CID.

 

[donnyj08]

Pennzoil 10w30 in a 93 mustang 2.3 with Stp oil additive because my uncle said it was good for the cam.

I've since learned better.
