Re: 221 V8 Engine Oil Recommendation
My engine is fresh and ready for an oil change. My pressure was reading low (like 0 at idle hot) on the stock dash gauge. I got recommendations to run 20-50 from some on here but that's never been a weight that I've seen at the parts store. I believe my M***'s sender is the culprit so I'm not to worried about it now. I don't drive it in the winter so it's 15-40 for me. I run Delo in my diesel and Aeroshell 100 in my plane...have never had an engine failure in anything because of oil type or brand. The lubricants we have now are way better than what was available back in the 30's. I'd suggest that you get a weight of oil suitable for your region and your driving habits and pick a brand that you're comfortable with. I once topped off with a couple quarts of chain saw bar oil (had no choice) and that engine is still happily running with over 200K miles on it.
