Silly Question: Whats the best kind of oil for a dodge 318 ?
If your question is 'should I use synthetic or conventional oil'.. use conventional. There was no synthetic oil available when these cars were originally loaded with lubricant. Every line, crevass, joint, ring, etc. is fully saturated with conventional oil. The engine specs are formed around conventional oil, so I've continued to do the 10w30 and it runs fine. Just keep changing the oil as needed.
I will only use dinosaur oil.
I get mine farm fresh from a local dinosaur farm, freshly squeezed.
What I don't believe 100% is, putting it into an older car like ours and risking seal leakage. I have had it happen. The synthetic is slippery enough to sneak out seals that conventional doesn't.
