Hello. This is my first post.
I just bought a 1969 F100 with a 360 engine with between 75-100k miles. There doesn't seem to be any issues, but there are no maintenance records. My plan is to drain whats in there now, send for analysis so I know what I've got and make a plan from there. Assuming I have no major issues, what would you use?
People have suggested everything from Motorcraft premium 10w30 with ZDDP additive for the flat tappets, to Rotello diesel oil though there is an argument that they have reduced the Zinc content. Some suggest a high mileage oil like Lucas Hot Rod oil, or Penzoil conventional HM. A lot of opinions, a lot of folks use what their Dad's used, but no real knowledgeable info.
The truck will not see any winter driving, mostly cruzing and truck shows and of coarse ice cream runs! What brand oil would you use, what weight would you use and why. Would you use a high mileage oil for the added conditioners? Would use a Zinc additive for the aging tappets. Thank you
