Many good suggestions under "Search" from which to choose.

Good question asked often; however, lots depends on:

a. If the inside of your engine has not been cleaned in some time, which oil is in your engine as we speak, detergent or non-detergent?

b. If your engine was recently dismantled & thoroughly cleaned, are you asking which oil to use in a thoroughly clean engine?

c. Local temperature, winter or summer?

d. Doesn't matter much what oil others are presently using with their varying specific climate and varying engine conditions ........ just try presenting a few more overall details which will help many to make proper recommendations for "your" particular engine.
I tried to Search it here but was having problems. I have been using Rotella 10w 40, I saw a seminar yesterday on youtube by Antique Engine Rebuilder in Skokie, he says for a rebuilt motor use 5w 30.
