This subject has for sure been discussed before but i´m a newbie so:

I´m about to chang the oil for the first time and thought that you guys could recommend which oil I should use. I´ve got a 350 and i´m going to use the car for cruising. I´ve heard that you should use mineral oil to this old cars but i´ve also seen here on the forum people talking about synthetic oil.

Any suggestions?


PS Pardon my english DS

I'm of the belief that regular changes are more important than what brand of oil you use.

However I tend towards Castrol, or Kendal conventional oil in my daily driver.

Mobil 1 Synthetic, in my Classics, since they only get oil changes once or twice a year, as they are driven not more than 2000 mile annually.
