Ppphhbbttthpphhtt.
Amsoil's website vehicle lookup doesn't even go back to cars before 1980.
Obviously, this stuff is ONLY to be used with water cooled engines.  |
I'm gonna assume you are a little smarter than this. Go back and google amsoil Z rod. It's described as high zinc,made for older engine designs using flat tappets and those that are used infrequently. Sound familiar? I pay half the quoted price. |

Handsome bottle there, Antonio. An "SL" spec 20w-50 oil. That oil might actually be illegal in Calif after Rep. Ridley-Thomas successfully outlawed obsolete oils here.

if you want to go down the rabbit hole google "bob is the oil guy" thats a forum that has a plethora of information that can fill you till heart is content.
my research has led me to go with 20w-50 synthetic valvoline VR-1 racing oil in my 2275. Good luck. |
