What weight oil you use depends on mileage and how hot/cold it is where you live. In my 240's I have always run 15 or 20w 50. I run thick oil because it's generally hot here in ca, my KA's have had pretty high mileage, and I like to drive them hard every so often. I would say that 10/30 is the MINIMUM. 5/30 is just too thin for an old engine.

Well im in hayward its been pretty hot lately during the day only till like 6pm. I have 50 to 60k on a rebuilt. I was thinking of going 0w-30Fe 5w-30Fe or 10w-30 & im choosing based off valvoline motor oil. I was reading about their oil grades on their site.
