Looking for recommendations for oil for a 1947 Plymouth Deluxe Club Coupe a buddy is purchasing. It has a 217 flat head 6 cyl with dual carbs.
I haven't been able to determine what oil to run in this. I have read things that newer oils are not good for some of the older cars. I have also read they are fine.
What is the consensus is it fine to run a regular oil like Pennzoil (PYB) or should he run some sort of Diesel oil with more zinc?
Unfortunately we have yet to determine what type and weight oil was originally recommended for this car.
I appreciate the help in advance.
