What motor oil do you use for a 1970 IIA?

[I Leak Oil]

Which is why I'm surprised it's being debated here.....

Isn't the topic supposed to get beaten to death repeatedly on every automotive forum?

I suppose it does, since we are on the oil subject should we discuss greasing the swivel balls instead of gear oil while we are at it?

Who let you in here?!
We all know it's supposed to be 90wt anyway. No debate there....

90wt is only useful as a car buffing agent! Anyone that convoys with me to events is entitled to a free sample.

I still have your diesel spatter all over the front of my truck from our last trip to Tripoli Rd.....a few years ago...90wt has nothing on diesel!

[SalemRover]

Correct me if I am wrong but that is *your* diesel spatter now mister!

Oh, it will be soon enough...
Back on topic though. So what's the best oil and weight for a rover diesel? Let the next 4 pages begin!

Dudes,any Mongolian Yak herder will tell that boiled down Yak fat has the best "UOA's" for its "application range" and the highest viscosity of any bovine out there. IMHO

Edit: BY the way it can be used in diesels ,swivel balls, and lonely herders have told me it works well in the rear end as well.

Sean, I'm not so sure it's a good idea to be telling people about lonely Mongolian yak herders telling you their deepest secrets! They didn't invite you to dinner in their yurt did they?!

(Gratuitous oil debate content) Who thinks I should try 3 in 1 oil in my 2.25 petrol before swapping is lazy arse out for my new, only slightly used but really beat diesel?

[stonefox]

You have a sick mind Jason ,I cant believe you misconstrued my words like that.Besides what happens at Yak camp stays at Yak camp.

[SalemRover]

Yak camp. That is fairly appropriate from my perspective. Im sticking to beer *only* from here on out. No more bison grass vodka for me. As far as your haggard 2.25 goes I was thinking along the lines of the largest gas powered leaf blower hooked up to the intake sans oil bath for a supercharged 2.25.

[stonefox]

I think thats a good policy I witnessed you on Bison grass vodka,It wasn't pretty.

[I Leak Oil]

Ooooo....I had almost forgotten about "yak" camp. Yes, Salemrover should stick to straight up beer, no doubt. That would be best for everyone.

So does anyone have any opinions on me using the 3 in 1 oil in my 2.25? When I was little I remember my mother using it on her sewing machines. I figure since the 2.25 sounds like a sewing machine I could use it....

That would be A LOT of wee little bottles. . .
