The engine is a 302, not a very high spec at present, but getting there. I am going to use Royal Purple but which multi-grade: 5W20, 5W30, 10W30, 10W40, 15W40, 20W50 ??

Thanks

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.
