So I'm going to do a couple autocrosses and a long distance trip on some of my very old stash (60s-70s) of oil and do a UOA at the end of the run for fun. I don't know what to expect but it will be interesting to me at least.
I picked up my uncles stash of oil last year from his basement when he was moving (my payment for helping him move) and then I picked up a 1973 Datsun 240Z that had not run since 1989 this May. After installing a radiator, gas tank and fuel pump in the Z, it fired right up. So lets drive this thing while restoring it and put some New "old" oil in it.
