<VV> Engine oil again

[kcvair at netscape.com]

Timothy-I'm with you on this oil thing.  If I didn't have a supply of the older stuff on hand I wouldn't know which oil to buy.  I've also been using 10w30 in my Corvairs for many years and has worked well.  I'm surprised that we've heard nothing from the oil suppliers that it's been changed and could do major damage to the engines in some of the older cars.  If they have announced it, I haven't seen or heard anything about it.  Do they just not care if you trash your engine?   Ken Clark

Dear All in VV land,
   Just a question regarding actual brand name oil. As a foreign car mechanic/technician (Volvo only) since 1981, I have been using Castrol GTX 10w30 in my customers cars since day 1.
   I contacted Castrol recently and they said this oil would be fine in my Corvairs.What is the general thinking on this oil. The latest engine I am using this on is in my 1963 FC Rampside 164CI 95HP PG.
   And I thank you all for the feedback. I hope I am not beating a dead horse but all I see is talk on ZDDP but very few brand names mentioned.
