Default Re: Oil weight

What does your rebuilder say? Don't get sucked into using straight weight, non detergent oil just cause ol' Henry used it. It makes sludge! Most owners use Shell Rotella 15/40 . with normal usage, change at a thousand miles. I like to add a little STP, It makes the oil stickier so the engine has something in the bearings for when it's been sitting a long time between runs. Make sure the oil level does not get low, this is is a splash lube engine and the level needs to be right.
