Gentlemen. I use 30 wt quality non synthetic detergent oil now...Can I drain my 31 A of it and replace it with a quality synthetic like Rotella?........Thanks...Marv
 
I wonder why you would want to bother with synthetic oil? I believe it costs more but in a modern car it will last longer between changes. With a Model A, unless you have a full flow oil filter where ALL of thye oil from the pump gets filtered, you have to change oil on a regular bases to get rid of the contaminates. This would negate the advantage of the extended change interval of the synthetic. As for as lubrication, a good quality oil will do just fine in a Model A.

Again, this is just my opinion.

Shell Rotella T 15w40 is not synthetic. There is a Rotella Synthetic, but it is 5w40. Yes you can change from a detergent 30 oil to what ever quality oil you feel comfortable using.
