89 f250 best oil to use??

Last year I got my 89 f250 a huge project. I just got it on the road three months ago and just a few days ago it started leaking oil. I know for sure it's my pan seal, I'm debating on what is the best oil I should be using for my 351w. It has under 70k on the motor. I was recommended by my near by shop to use "Quaker State Advanced Durability 10w-30" but I could use some more opinions!
Thanks for reading!

Ahhhh oil threads, welcome to FTE you started with an always fun topic.

I'll start with, there is no reason to use a 10W30 in anything that you change the oil in.

I would use either dino oil 10-30 or 5w-30 and it can be any brand you choose. Stay away from synthetic or your leak can become leaks.

As Bruteford stated, you started with an interesting thread.

Welcome to FTE!

I vote for Amsteel Purple!

Put it in at only $34.95 a quart and you will pollute less than a tesla, get b etter mileage than a TDI and you will never have to change the oil OR your underwear ever again!

Check out the testimonials at 'LarryistheLubeking.com'

You can even become a dealer where you make $100 for every 40,000 people you get to sign up!









(yes, the entire post was tongue in cheek, do not start some Jihad and join ISIS over it)
