Assuming that it's in good mechanical condition and isn't burning any oil, any good quality 10W-30 oil would be fine, although it wouldn't hurt to look into a ZDDP additive. ZDDP is necessary to properly lube the cam lobes/lifters for the sliding friction that is present. Most of the ZDDP has been stripped out of modern oils due to government regulations. It should take 5 quarts with a filter change.

I got mine at NAPA, but sure Autozone or Advance or any others would have it as well.

Glad you asked this, I've been meaning to. I'm going to start using it--should we be using a lead-substitute additive in the fuel as well?

^^No. Sorta.

If your valve seats have been hardened(more specifically, hardened seats have been installed), then the lead is unnecessary.

as far as i know it is.......also it says limit 12 but you can just pay for 12, then buy more after. the register will only discount 12 at a time per ticket. funny thing is the valvoline website has a deal also, buy 2 cases and the second case is free.

So, I need a coupon? Code?

Or can I just walk in to any Autozone, and buy 'em up? Hmm, I might have to stock up on the next 3-4 oil changes.
