Good morning...I go 500 on our 31 Tudor. The engine is rebuilt Babbitt with about 10,000 miles on it. This forces me to lube everything at 500 and oil as necessary. I think the lube work on 31 lube fittings is just as important as the oil change. I do run an air filter and an oil filter. The engine builder has me running Castrol HD Heavy Duty 30 weight detergent. I have the Snyder's Oil Filter which comes as part of a new valve cover and the filter is a Fram PH8A. There are many opinions on this subject depending on your location and weather...but this is how I have maintained our A for years...Have a Happy Model A Day...Ernie in Arizona
