I'm not really sure which oil I need for this engine as to thickness, brand, synthetic or not etc. Any help? It's a 1980 229 v6. Thanks. |

Good to meet you yesterday Chris. I keep meaning to check the manual. Usually the oil cap has the oil spec stamped into it, on the 3rd gen it has 5w30 stamped into it. I think most people use 10w40 in 2nd gens and will also add ZDPT (zinc) additive. You can get this from places like real steel. I should be in the garage tonight so will consult the manual and post back. |

Awesome thanks. Yeah you too. Yeah I put some 5w30 in just as a top up to get to speedfest but need to know what's best for when I do an oil change. |
