I like Penn Grade (used to be kendall GT1) or Valvoline VR1 20w50  with EOS or Comp Cams cam lube additive in the diving months, and then one of those brands in 10w30 for the off season where it just gets started and warmed up once in a while.
68 Charger R/t white with black v/t and red tailstripe. 440 4 speed ,black interior
68 383 auto with a/c and power windows. Now 440 4 speed jj1 gold black interior .
My Charger is a hybrid car, it burns gas and rubber............

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

Ditti:Ditto:Ditto:Ditto.  20/50 VR1  Nice thick oil to keep pressure up.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

I have just started using it as we picked them up as a sponsor. So far I like it, but want to give it some time before I change over for good.
