0W-40 in 1970 Cadillac Eldorado

You might get away with it, but I would never do it. The only engines the call for 0w40 have micro polished crank journals. Using 0w40 could cause rapid wear, and it would be a crying shame to wipe the bearings on such a rare engine. The Rotella is *great* stuff but would probably show no benefit on such a low mileage engine. I use it exclusively on both my hi mileage vehicles. HTH Ben |

I suggested Havoline 5 w 40 in the winter, cheaper and does as good a job with your engine is oil costing 10 times as much. This all depends on how much you drive the car and many other factors. Is it garaged? With an engine of that vintage you just won't get anything out of synthetics that make it worthwhile. Just stay away from Pennsylvania oils. Anything paraphin based. A good grade major oil company oil, Texaco, Shell, Union 76, Phillips are ALL good. You can get that stuff dirt cheap in most parts store or Wal Mart. Just NEVER buy a house brand. Any MAJOR oil company's good grade oils. Frankly a 10 weight in winter and 30 weight in summer is even better. |

The Rotella isn't like a conventional 10W-40... it's made with petroleum base stock, but it has a lot more ZDDP in it than a modern conventional oil does. This is a big deal for the cam arrangements in many older engines. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Actually, the 1970 500 has virtually no smog equipment beyond the pcv, which doesnt hurt a thing. 400 HP and 515 ft/lbs with a perfectly smooth 700 rpm idle and 15 mpg is crazy good. I've swapped them into a 84 camero and a 71 chevy truck. Even better is a smogger 500 from 73-75 with closed chamber heads from a 60's 425. 13.5-1 compression with good flow, 450 hp. Cant run pump gas though... > > >But the regulations and devices you speak of are > >all post-1970, right? *Cat converters etc came out > >later in the 1970s (so I thought). *Am I right? 71 500 had 400 hp, 72 500 had less than 300. To comply with federal smog laws (not nader...) the compression went from 11-1 to 8-1 and rthe cam was changed drastically. But I digress... HTH, Ben |
