Don's quotes
OK, I looked up Don's quotes about oil choice. In the "Recommended oil type" thread, he said
"You can indeed use 10-30 oil in a pinch. Universal actually recommended 10-30 weight oil in a few of their later owner's manuals."
In the Marvel Mystery Oil thread (right above this one!), he said
"In our experience, the Atomic 4 will thrive on any good quality motor oil. We continue to have a minor preference for single viscosity 30-weight oil in most of our operating areas, but 10-30 oil is also OK or even 15-40 in hotter climates."
I would of course like to know what the 'slight preference' is based upon but, altogether, perhaps the choice of the oil type is less critical than I imagine.
