Default Re: 221 V8 Engine Oil Recommendation

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll stick with the Rotella 15W40 for now. I've noticed that the oil turns black quickly. I have no history on this engine. Oil turning black possibly because previous owner didn't use detergent oil, or there may be a layer of crud on the bottom of the oil pan. I had that issue with my 29 A. Dropping the oil pan on the V8 engine appears to be a bit more involved than a Model A.

At any rate, it doesn't seem to burn oil, which is good.

As I've driven and tinkered with this truck, I've come across some additional "surprises". I'll be hitting you guys up for advice on those too once I get all my thoughts collected on each issue.

Thanks again for your help.

PS: I know the wiring in the pics looks bad...that has all been replaced.
