SL sounds good, but you want SL in a weight that's good for a Corvair.  Factory manual says 10W-30.

FWIW, my next purchase of Mobil 1 will be their 5W-40 Turbo Diesel version.  No, it doesn't matter that it says 'diesel', it's also rated for gasoline engines.

The oil is called "Country Tuff" and has the designation "SL" which I under stood to mean it has the ZDDP ingredient we want for our Corvair engines.  I've already put the Mobil 1 in one car and wondered if I might be asking for trouble if I were to use this oil in one of the other ones???
