Hemmings oil

This is another oil discussion. It can't hurt. Some will say extra zinc is not necessary due to low valve spring pressures. Some will argue it is still needed even with the pressures we have on our cars.

Most posts will tell you what they, their fathers, and old time mechanics call out to use.

Again it can't hurt.
 
Oil company in Indianapolis making motor oil for old cars, DA Corp. They are working with the AACA I believe.

You may check them out don't know the cost. Hemmings oil seems pretty pricey.

Put your favorite oil in the car and forget about it.

Thanks, sounds like a plan. It has worked the first 40 years I have had the car. Thanks
 
Personally, I wouldn't use any synthetic oil in my Model A. Not because it isn't good, but it's kind of expensive since I change my oil every autumn. So I use a good brand of 10W-30 oil and it's worked out well.

Are you talking about cooking oil? It smells a bit like french fries when people follow you, I guess the smell could be worse - Just sayin'....:eek:
 
any oil with the desination sj in the circle on the out side of the can is good oil to use for older engines, just dont use the oil in the red circle that says for gasoline engines, it has little or no zink in it, its to be used in modern engines with roller tapet cams, they dond need zink, sl and sm are ok if nothing else is available, but dont use any oil with higher letters in the circle
