Norcal Dave 'Bolter N Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 916 Norcal	I'm curious what oil multi-grades people are using in these engines? I am just finishing a rebuild on a 261 and live in northern California hills where it gets down to freezing for only several nights out of the year. 20w-50 10w-40 10w-30 ??? ~ Dave 1950 Chevrolet 3600 3/4-ton with 261 engine & T5 Transmission
