Hi all,I use in summer,3 quarts of 10/40 and 3 quarts of 10/50.Oil pressure
stays high ,even in extreme heat,also engine is cooler.It does not get driven
much in winter,how ever,I do make it all 10/40 during this time.The oil being
used by your car,check for leaks,if there are none,new valve seals.The
valve seals sound harder then they are ,if your mechanicly inclinde it�s a
snap.

I use straight 30W in my '66, but 10W-40 in my '73. The
'66 with 115,000 miles does use a quart between changes (every 2000
miles). My '73 doesn't use any oil between changes, and that car has
80,000 miles.

Hi everyone!
I don't make many posts but
I do read them religously. I have learned a lot from it. Anyway, I have a
question. What BRAND of oil does everyone prefer and/or recommend? I
have a 1970 LeBaron 4 Dr. hardtop with an original, unmodified 440 that has
140,000 on the clock. I have seen all the oil commercials and heard all
kinds of crazy recommendations; but I want to hear what IMPERIAL owners put
in their crankcase. All advice is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I currently use Castrol High Mileage
petrolium oil 10W30. And while we are on the subject, what brand of oil
FILTER does everyone
use?
