Depending on your climate, I'd say either straight 30W or 40W. I run the 30W, may be going to Racing #21 before long   ------------------

Alex,,How about my new 331 Stroker.. I want to put Royal Purple in it now that I have apporximately 500 breakin miles on it.. Why don't you email me the price and I'll have you ship some out to me.. Q: Should I use an Oil Additive with Royal Purple.. I always use an Oil Additive called IXL.. It's one of those "You Can't Prove it Does or Dosen't Work" additives.. I have been using it for over 10 years have gotten excellent wear & performance out of my vehicle engines.. Thrashing a cast iron distributor gear in my new 302 HO (less than 1 hour run time)  which may have contributed to early failure,, doesn't count.. Let me know..

Hi Guys, Thanks for the info. I think I will go with the multi-grade, as we have a wide temperature changes over here from season to season.
