If I may add to Verns post. The seals in these old engines were not made to withstand the additives in modern detergent oil. The original seals will slowly deteriorate from constant exposure to the additives, now if I ever have to rebuild the engine I will then use modern oil. My 1953 TO30 has always has non-detergent 20w or 30w oil in it as stated in the owners manual. The engine has never had an oil leak, used oil, or smoked since bought new by my Dad in 1953 at Harry Stevenson Ferguson in Elletsville, IN. With a record like that why consider changing? I was 11 then and now my grandson is beginning to learn to drive it. The lubrication maintence schedule was always followed.
