ModelA29 is correct with his facts.

I was a dealer for Amsoil products many years ago and we were exposed to extensive training about lubricants of all types for use in all types of engines, transmissions, and axles. Synthetic oils overall have unique lubricating qualities due to their inherent superior film strength and resistance to thermal breakdown (heat). But...most of our beloved Model A's don't have an adequate oil filtering system, if they have one at all, and that necessitates frequent oil changes not to mention the fact that most of them suffer from chronic leaks which renders the cost of oils like Mobil 1, Amsoil, Redline, etc. too expensive to be practical.
