Jim: 35 years ago I switched every engine I owned, about 15 at that time to diesel grade motor oil. For a number of years I used 30 in summer and 20 in winter, then about 15 years ago I switched to 15W-40. These old heavy block, low rpm gassers are a lot more closely related to a diesel than they are the modern day gas engine. I use this oil in every thing even my 4 cycle lawn mower.

Lawn mower is 29 years old, always got 300,000 miles on V8 GM, my V6 Buick is up to 280,000 miles, got 600,000 on a 6.2 diesel and always 4,000 hours on Farmall gassers, 10,000 hours on diesels. By the way that 6.2 diesel is still going in another truck.
