Can anyone tell me what weight oil to put in a F12 for summer and winter use?

Thanks

I use straight 30 weight year round in mine. Mine is a 33 with a Waukesha flat head. Unless you live an extremely cold winter climate I think the 30 weight is safe for about any load you can put on it.

My F12 used to live in Michigan, we used it to run a buzz saw and haul fire wood on a hay wagon a couple tons to the load. Other than being a little tough to crank it ran great on the coldest of Michgan winter days.

If the engine is newly rebuilt, or at least in good shape, then anything you use in your other vehicles will be fine for use in the '12. That is, assuming you won't be plowing or doing other heavy work with it.

Older, tired engines will need a heavier oil, and if it's never been touched, I'd recommend finding a non-detergent just to be sure.

I use straight 30 weight in mine year around, but all it does is haul the occasional trailer.
