Hello,
I bought a 1997 Itasca motorhome with a L29 454 engine. Roller tappets 290HP 410Torque. I have been looking at the "Chevrolet Motor Home Chassis Service Guide" that came with the MH. The 'preferred' oil above 40F is straight 30 weight SH oil. I live in deep south Texas or as we call it north Mexico, so the under 40F time is nearly nonexistent. The engine has 43,000 miles and has been sitting for several years.
Straight weight oils seem to be hard to find any more and I'm looking for some advice.
I see that Tractor Supply has a straight 30 SH in their Traveller brand, I see Valvoline racing oil but it is pricey.
I have lurked here for years and you guys have a wealth of knowledge, I just hope I don't get overwhelmed.
I suppose I should post my filter questions in the filter forum.
