Once again research only adds to the confusion. Manual says to use straight 30 wt and that 10W30-10W40 are "acceptable". Many on the interwebz recommend Mobil 1 15W50. I have no problem with paying for full synthetic if the motor likes it.

So what do folks actually run? FWIW 1976 455 with 85K original miles, no smoke at all.
