Actualy, the early design V8's arnt so good on the thinner oils as they are still a very old fashioned two cog style oil pump (which has to be primed!), particularly once they get to high mileage.

But, the Vx mineral oil would be ok.

I thought older V8's needed 20w/50

The Vx standard mineral oil is good in the V8.

These units require good oil flow to work well and need VERY regular oil changes to keep this leviathan of the engine world in shape.

Its very dependent on the state of the engine, when they get tired they need such thick oil just to keep them quiet. When new 5W40 is often used.

I always used the standard mineral oil to good effect.

Hold on just one cotton pickin' minute. First a cookery thread, now an oil thread. What's going on Loony?????  ;D ;D ;D

Knitting was mentioned the other night. I dare not say too much to SWMBO about the content of some lines  conversation on here, apparently I am ‘sad’ as it is for spending time on here. Never happy, used to complain when I spent time on ebay, this is much cheaper, spent no money in the last couple of months and she still comments.

 :) :) :)
