What oil should i use on 121K motor?
Since I dont know the history of it I dont want to cause myself anymore headache.
I dont recall this 15W50 stuff. IS this new?
Or should I just go with the Castrol 20W50?

I have read the FAQ and also about 10 pages of psot about what other peeps are using.
I need to know what kind of oild for a high mileage engine with unknown history.
I wiill most likely go with the 20W50 for now....
anyone else got some answers?

Oh I forgot . as for synthetics. I used them before in my FB's in the 80's. I am using it now in my other 90 and it runs very smooth.
But this motor is unknown to me so far and I dont want to dislodge 10yrs of crap in the motor or something by using the synthetic.
that is why I am trying to be more specific rather than a generic ""what oil do you ALL use?" type of question.
