just remember that the engine you have as been a reliable engine in the days when people were not as concerned about maintenance i have seen some that have over 90,000 miles with out a oil change just added when need and also no filter. just freshen it, is. i have the original one in my 54 and drove it daily for 20 years back and forth for work. drove it yesterday and a guy asked me i was on the way to a show, i said no just running errands. ron
